Republican Rep. Steve Austria of Ohio will not run for reelection in 2012, he announced Friday.

"I am not going to run for Congress next term as a result of the redistricting map,'' Austria said in a statement.

"I share the same anger and frustration as the residents and voters of our region about the loss of the 7th Congressional District, but I want to thank each and every one of the eight counties in the current district for the honor of representing them," the statement said.

Austria had been paired in the same district as fellow Republican Rep. Mike Turner after redistricting, presenting him with an uphill bid for reelection.
