Yet another House Republican representative announced on Saturday that he is not running for re-election in this cycle.
This time the news comes from the GOP's Congressman Mike Gallagher, who said he's "accomplished more on this deployment than I could have ever imagined."

"But the Framers intended citizens to service in Congress for a season and then return to their private lives," he wrote in a post on social media. "Electoral politics was never supposed to be a career and trust me, Congress is no place to grow old."
So, he said, "with a heavy heart, I have decided not to run for re-election. Thank you to the good people of Northeast Wisconsin for the honor of a lifetime."
NBC also picked up the news, noting that "he joins more than a dozen House Republicans who won’t seek re-election in 2024, according to the House Press Gallery."
"Earlier this week, Washington GOP Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers, who chairs the House Energy and Commerce Committee, also announced that she wouldn’t seek re-election this fall," the report states.
