At a press conference held in Feb., Sen. Jon Kyl announced that he would not seek reelection in 2012 saying, ``There is one large reason this decision has been hard for Caryll and me. We have gained so many friends over the years, many of whom, like you, have contributed to my elections and encouraged me to continue to serve. It's hard to say no to such loyal supporters. But I know I am not irreplaceable and next year will be my twenty-sixth-year of service in the US Congress.``
