Rep. Fred Upton is planning to retire from Congress, according to an email the Michigan Republican sent to supporters Tuesday morning, GOP sources confirmed.
Upton, 68, later announced his retirement in a House floor speech. Upton has represented western Michigan in the House since 1987 and has toyed with retirement in recent years, only to stick around and fend off the occasional GOP primary challenger and silence conservative critics who accused him of being too centrist. But this year, Upton also was contending with opposition from former President Donald Trump.

I was thinking the same thing the other day. I think it should be given to the treasury. It would not be possible to return the funds fairly so turn it over.
Some RINO will be anointed to succeed him. He/she will be much better funded than the rest of the candidates.
Fred, We Hardly Knew Ye!
And that is what gets registered. Who knows what was "off the books".
Shame. That area of Michigan, actually anything outside of that southeast area defined roughly by I-69, is quite pretty. Too bad the representatives don't reflect the beauty of the state.
They may as well retire. Their work destroying the United States of American from within was finished. they could go no further. Get someone in their place that can finish the job. When the People’s choice, Lying Joe Biden gets through, there won’t be a hell of a lot left to destroy. But that was the Plan. President Trump was a builder. Lying Joe is a Destroyer. Given the choice, the People said they wanted the Destroyer. So It was.
What happens to the money when they retire?
So, Trump shouldn’t have run again in 2020?
The problem with Upton can be summed up in four words “decades long House career” !

I think she is pretty, but then I never look at her face.
What’s good about Miss Kate?
Is she a real conservative? Is she ‘Hot’?
We need the Kate Upton pics to increase our joy at this announcement.
No politican should be above the age of 70.
Bye Felicia!
They’re real, and they’re spectacular.
It’s less about the age and more about the length of time in office
I would not care if an 80 year old ran- In fact I think I would prefer it to a young and energetic type looking to MAKE NEW LAWS!!! as a way to measure success.
Especially when they young and energetic types are talking out of their a$$, and have no clue what the effects would be. Like AOC.
