Nearly 10% of the House of Representatives has announced their intentions to not seek reelection later this year, setting the stage for shakeups of several key congressional committees.
In all, 29 Democrats and 13 Republicans will either retire or seek another office later this year, including a co-chair of the House National Guard and Reserve Caucus and one of the currently serving Guardsmen in Congress.
Every seat in the House of Representatives will be on the ballot later this year.
Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, who leads the caucus alongside Rep. Stephen Palazzo, R-Miss., is serving his 10th term in the House. He previously announced he would be seeking the Senate seat that will be vacated with the retirement of Sen. Rob Portman, a two-term Republican.
Ryan is a member of the House Appropriations Committee’s Defense Subcommittee.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., announced he would not seek reelection to Congress last fall. He is a pilot and lieutenant colonel with the Wisconsin Air Guard and one of only six currently drilling Guardsmen in Congress. He is in his sixth term in the House.
Others not seeking reelection include two other members of the influential HAC-D subcommittee, as well as eight members of the House Armed Services Committee and one member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.
Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-Ill., and Rep. Charlie Crist, D-Fla., will each leave vacancies on HAC-D. Crist also serves on the Appropriations Committee’s Military Construction, Veteran Affairs and Related Agencies Subcommittee.
Crist, a former Republican governor of Florida, is seeking to regain that office as a Democrat.
