Pew Research:
“More members of the U.S. House of Representatives are choosing not to
seek re-election to that body than at any time in the past
quarter-century – including a record number of Republicans… Those counts
could rise further, since the filing deadlines in most states haven’t
yet passed.”
“As of Feb. 28, 52 representatives (36 Republicans and 16 Democrats)
have announced that they’re not running for new terms, according to our
count. In addition, one Democrat (John Conyers of Michigan) resigned
late last year, and his seat won’t be filled until Election Day in
November – making a total of 53 voluntary departures, or 12% of the
House’s full voting membership.”
