Gallegly retiring?

Doubtful.

Though he reversed himself and committed to the 2006 campaign, Gallegly stated publicly that he would serve only one more term if elected. But shortly after his re-election that November, his staff said “retirement is not an option” in a comment to the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call that was picked up by many other publications.

Gallegly already has filed a statement of candidacy for the 2008 race with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and had a hefty $800,000 on hand in his House campaign account at the start of April, according to his most recent campaign finance report.

But, should he……the heir apparent is Tom McClintock.
