California Democrat Grace Napolitano retires after long tenure.
Longtime Rep. Grace Napolitano (D-CA) Announces Retirement
After an impressive 25 years in office, Representative Grace Napolitano has revealed her plans to retire at the end of this Congress. Napolitano, who was first elected in 1998, expressed her deep gratitude towards her constituents for their unwavering support throughout the years.
“Thank you all so much for being here and this great honor,” she stated. “My focus has always been representing my district, first; state, second; and nation, third. We still have a year and a half more of work to do, and I will give 110% every day fighting for the San Gabriel Valley in the United States Congress. Thank you, all! God bless!”
Despite her district changing four times during her tenure, Napolitano consistently secured reelection in the heavily liberal area. Her impact on both the San Gabriel Valley and Congress has been recognized by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who described her as a trailblazer and a tremendous leader.
As Napolitano prepares for the next chapter in her life, three candidates have already filed with the Federal Election Commission to run for her seat. These candidates include state Sen. Bob Archuleta (D-CA), Citrus Community College Trustee Mary Ann Lutz, and Baldwin Park Planning Commissioner Ricardo Vazques. Napolitano has publicly endorsed Archuleta as her successor, as announced during her retirement event.
