FILE: Dec. 31, 2012: Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.(AP)
Indiana Republican Sen. Dan Coats said Tuesday he is retiring from the Senate and will not seek re-election in 2016.
The 71-year-old Coats said he thought he could win a third term but decided now is the time to allow a new era of lawmakers to compete for the seat.
This was not an easy decision, Coats said in his announcement. I have concluded that the time has come to pass this demanding job to the next generation of leaders.
He becomes the third senator this election cycle to announce plans to retire rather than seek re-election. The others are Democrats Barbara Boxer of California and Barbara Mikulski of Maryland.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report had forecast that Republicans would likely retain the seat if Coats sought re-election.
However, Montana Sen. John Tester, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, is now calling the bid for the open seat one of the most competitive Senate races in the country.
We're confident that we will find a great candidate who will put Indiana first and win this seat in 2016," Tester said.
National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Sen. Roger Wicker says his party has a deep field of viable potential candidates to help his party retain the seat.
We have a strong Republican bench in Indiana, and I am confident we will have another capable Republican joining us in the Senate in 2016 to continue Dans great work, Wicker said.
