Democratic Rep. Ruppersberger resigning from House at end of year
Maryland-based Ruppersberger released a Friday statement, announcing his departure from Congress, and called on "thoughtful, end-game representatives" to step up.
Another Democratic member of the House has announced plans to retire from office at the end of the year.
Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.) released a statement Friday saying he will leave office at the end of 2024.
Ruppersberger said that "now more than ever, Congress needs thoughtful, end-game representatives like me – members who care more about constituents and our country and less about cable news hits."
He joins nearly two dozen other Democrats who have decided not to seek reelection, along with 18 Republicans.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
