Longtime Indiana Congressman Dan Burton says he won't seek election for a 16th term in Congress.

The 5th District Republican had narrowly survived tough Republican primary battles in his past two campaigns. He was elected to his 15th term in November 2010.

Burton won with 30 percent of the vote in a crowded May 2010 Republican primary in which rivals argued it was time for him to go.

The 73-year-old Burton first won election in 1982 to the district, which remains heavily Republican under the redistricting plan approved last year by state legislators. It includes all of Hamilton County and the north side of Indianapolis, but lost some rural counties closer to Fort Wayne that Burton carried on his way to winning the 2008 and 2010 primaries.
