John Campbell to Retire From House #CA45
Roll Call ^ | June 28, 2013 | Emily Cahn

Five-term Rep. John Campbell, R-Calif., announced on Thursday that he will retire at the end of his term, citing a desire to start a new chapter in his life after 14 years in elected office.

“At the end of this term, I will have spent 14 years serving in full-time, elected politics. I am not nor did I ever intend to be a career politician,” Campbell said in a statement. “I am ready to begin a new chapter in my life.”

Campbell was first elected to Congress in a 2005 special election to replace former Rep. Christopher Cox, a Republican, who resigned to become chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Prior to being elected to Congress, Campbell spent five years in the California legislature as both a state representative and later a state senator.

Campbell’s retirement will leave an open seat in one of the few Republican-leaning districts in California. GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney carried the district with 55 percent in 2012.

Total RINO. Cambpell was on RINO-mouthpiece Hugh Hewitt’s show last week, said his most important vote was helping push TARP through the House.

Right, right.

I really hate that cause it makes me want to support having the party anoint candidates in every seat and ostracize anyone else who dares to run as a Republican. And that’s very undemocratic.
