Ahead of the 2022 midterms, a Congressional mass exodus

Annie Andersen: ONE YEAR OUT FROM THE MIDTERMS AND ALREADY WE KNOW CONGRESS WILL LOOK VERY DIFFERENT. AS IT STANDS 47 MEMBERS SAY THEY WON’T BE RUNNING FOR Re-ELECTION- 18 REPUBLICANS AND 29 DEMOCRATS.

THE LATEST TO ANNOUNCE- CALIFORNIA’S JERRY MCNERNEY AND RHODE ISLAND’S JIM LANGEVIN. 

TAKE SOT- REP. JIM LANGEVIN (D-RI)

FROM 1/18/22

<<”t’s time time for me to chart a new course which i hope will keep me closer to home and allow me to spend more time with family and friends as i turn the page on this chapter i do so with the full confidence of the next generation of leaders”>>

Annie Andersen

ALONG WITH HIM… 40 OF HIS HOUSE COLLEAGUES AND 6 IN THE SENATE WON’T SEEK REELECTION. 

WHY THE MASS EXODUS- SOME OF IT IS JUST THAT THESE MEMBERS ARE OLDER.

OTHERS WANT HIGHER OFFICE. 

SOME WOULD FACE AN UPHILL BATTLE OR HARD DECISIONS BASED ON REDISTRICTING.

BUT FOR A LOT OF THEM WHO WERE MAYBE JUST CONTEMPLATING IT… AS THE REPUBLICANS ARE EXPECTED TO WIN BACK THE HOUSE IN NOVEMBER.. THIS IS AS GOOD A TIME AS ANY TO SAY GOODBYE… BECAUSE AS RETIRING BUDGET CHAIR JOHN YARMUTH SAID IN A DEBATE IN 2018.. IT’S NOT FUN BEING IN THE MINORITY. 

STRAIGHT FROM DC I’M AA
