WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa will not seek re-election in 2014, a Democratic Senate aide said on Saturday.

Harkin, 73, is one of the most liberal members of the Senate and has focused much of his long congressional career on farm policy and helping pass legislation aiding people with disabilities.
