WASHINGTON — Tommy G. Thompson said Tuesday that he will not stay for a second term as secretary of Health and Human Services.
Thompson did not say whether he would stay through President Bush’s reelection campaign and the 2004 election.
“I think it’s time for me to take a hiatus from government and do something else for a while,” he said. Thompson, a former governor of Wisconsin, said he eventually would run for office again.
