California Representative Jackie Speier announced on Tuesday she will not seek reelection, becoming the latest House Democrat to announce retirement before the 2022 midterm election cycle.

The seven-term congresswoman said it has been an "extraordinary privilege" to serve, but it was time for her to step down.

"It's time for me to come home. Time for me to be more than a weekend wife, mother and friend," Speier said.

She’s in an ultra-safe Dem seat, so this one won’t be a GOP pickup, but she knows that being in the House minority is no fun so she’s checking out.

She’s proud of the 2 abortions she had in the past even though she claims she’s Catholic. Does she actually have living children?

Not only a biatch, but one of the dumber Dem’s in DC and that is saying quite a bit.

She’s from the San Francisco area. She’ll be replaced with another left-wing Democrat.

I don’t know either way but in the video i saw, it looks like it was shotgun pellets, not bullets, that got her.

But no matter what, it was a terrible situation she endured.

“”an “extraordinary privilege” to serve””

That is such a distortion of what they go to Washington for...There’s no “serving” or “service” to the country about it. They’re in it for themselves and when they have accumulated enough $$$$, prestige, favors, whatever, they’re ready to go home and see to the family.

Funny but I always thought she was a lesbian...surprised to find she’s not - altho’ she could be - just not out yet???

The seven-term congresswoman said it has been an "extraordinary privilege" to serve,

Yeah, no kidding. No doubt she took every privilege available.

Wow, the DNC is losing a lot of seniority very quickly.

The new Dem candidates that get sworn in 2023 are going nowhere.
