Senator Tom Harkin _2_ he will not seek a sixth term in 2014. NPR's Elizabeth Wynne Johnson reports the Iowa Democrat has been an influential liberal voice on Capitol Hill for going on 40 years.
參議員湯姆•哈金宣布，他在2014年將不會再尋求第六個任期。據NPR新聞的伊麗莎白•懷恩•約翰遜報道，近40年的時間里，愛荷華州的民主黨人向來對國會山的自由表達具有影響力。
Five terms in the United States House of Representatives followed by five terms in the Senate, yet 73-year-old Tom Harkin is still the junior Senator from Iowa. As chairman of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, Harkin supported the health care overhaul in 2010, and he was an outspoken advocate for people with disabilities. Harkin's decision to retire from the Senate _3_ his term could be an opening for Republicans in 2014. Iowa is a potential swing state. That seat will be a coveted opportunity for the GOP to narrow the Democrats' majority in the Senate. Elizabeth Wynne Johnson, NPR News, Washington.
湯姆•哈金今年73歲，在美國眾議院任職五個任期，之后又在參議院任職五個任期，他至今仍是代表愛荷華州的初級參議員。哈金作為衛生，教育，勞工及退休金委員會主席，2010年表示支持醫療改革，他也曾直言提倡關心殘疾人。哈金決定任期結束后便從參議院退休的決定，在2014年對于共和黨來說是個機會。愛荷華州是個潛在的搖擺州。那個席位對希望縮小參議院中民主黨多數席位的共和黨來說是個盼望已久的機會。NPR新聞，伊麗莎白•懷恩•約翰遜華盛頓報道。
