Republican Congressmen Resigning from the 118th Congress: A Closer Look
Amidst the ongoing turbulence in the 118th Congress, particularly in the House of Representatives, several Republican members have decided not to seek re-election or have announced their early resignation, impacting the balance of power within the House.
Meet the Five Retiring Republicans:
- Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT): After serving since 2013, Stewart cited his wife’s health concerns as the reason for his early departure effective September 15, 2023.
- Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA): McCarthy, who announced his resignation in an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal, will leave Congress on December 31, 2023, after facing challenges within his party.
- Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH): Johnson’s decision not to seek re-election stems from accepting the role of president at Youngstown State University, ending his term on January 21, 2024.
- Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO): Buck, critical of Congress’s dysfunction, opted to resign early to pursue other opportunities after previously announcing his intention not to seek re-election.
- Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI): Gallagher, who initially planned not to run for another term, accelerated his resignation to April, emphasizing his pride in serving Wisconsin and his contributions in Congress.
Each of these departures adds to the shifts happening within the Republican ranks, influencing the dynamics and future direction of the party within the House of Representatives.
