After much speculation, Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann announced today that she will be running for Congress once again, reported the Pioneer Press
Bachmann, who was known for her direct opposition to President Barack Obama's policies during her run to be the GOP's presidential candidate, said she will run for the House for the fourth time.
"I am very thrilled to be in the position that I am today, and I am looking forward to continuing," said Bachmann, the Star Tribune reported. "Obviously we'll see what happens with these maps... But I do intend to run again."
Bachmann is a strong candidate in Minnesota's 6th Distract, but district reshaping plans could present a challenge for the Republican. The Democrats presented one plan that would pit her against six-term Democrat Rep. Betty McCollum.
After her high profile and controversial presence in the GOP's presidential candidate race, some experts speculated she might turn to a career in talk media. However, Bachmann does not feel her political career is in danger.
"What people recognize is I've worked extremely hard on their behalf," she said according to the Star Tribune
