Senator Lawn Mower plans to run again in 2016

Senator Lawn Mower is planning to run again in 2016;

WASHINGTON (CNN) - The second-oldest member in the United States Senate says he wants another go-round come 2016.

"I'm planning on running for reelection," Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said in an interview with a local television program that will air Sunday morning.

The six-term Senate Republican told Iowa Public TV that while he's not devoting much time to laying the groundwork for another campaign, he does intend to seek a seventh term. First elected to Congress in 1974, Grassley said his history of public service speaks for itself and that he believes his Hawkeye State constituents will vote for his record, not against his age.

"I'm a firm believer, if you do a good job with what you're doing, people recognize it," Grassley said, "and the future takes care of itself."
