Rep. Niki Tsongas (MA-3) released the following statement today announcing her decision not to run for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives.
“Ten years ago, I sought this seat because I was motivated by a lifelong commitment to public service and a desire to change people’s lives for the better. I also felt, as I have often said, that women can’t win if women don’t run. I’m proud that my election marked the first time in a quarter century that Massachusetts sent a woman to Congress. Since that door cracked open, the Commonwealth has elected another female member of Congress, our first female US Senator, and in my district, 50% of our state legislators are now women, paving the way for even more women from our state to serve in political office bringing their voices to all we value as a country.
“In the ten years I’ve had the privilege of serving, I have worked to make a difference in the lives of the people of our district and the nation. My very first vote in Congress was cast to expand health care for women and children. Given our family’s experience and knowing how critical access to affordable health coverage is, I helped pass life-saving health care reform legislation, the Affordable Care Act, and have fought to defend its protections for millions of Americans.

Don’t hope for a Republican to fill the seat, the district is so gerrymandered it’s ridiculous.
Liberals know how to stick with a lie no matter what the reality is. The King really is wearing beautiful clothes of ultra fine cloth!
“I’m proud that my election marked the first time in a quarter century that Massachusetts sent a woman to Congress. “
Who knew that Massachusetts was so misogynist!
10 years = lifetime commitment. Got it.
