Schock: I don’t know if I want to do this forever

The congressman who Republicans hope could represent a new generation of the party said Wednesday he’s not sure he wants to make a career out of politics.

“I’m enjoying the role now, but I don’t know if I want to do this forever,” 27-year-old freshman Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.) told CNN in an interview aired Wednesday.

Schock’s age has drawn him attention and some fawning admirers of his looks, but he may not become a Hill institution.

“I look around the Congress right now as a new member and see people who have served for 20 or 30 years, and I’m not sure I want that to be me,” he said. “So I take one day at a time, one election at a time, and, ultimately, the decision’s with the voters.”
