WASHINGTON -- U.S. Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, both the most powerful and endangered member of the New Jersey congressional delegation, announced Monday that he would not seek re-election at the end of his 12th term in the House of Representatives.

Frelinghuysen, R-11th Dist., gave no reason for retiring. He joins Rep. Frank LoBiondo, R-2nd Dist., as New Jersey lawmakers retiring at the end of the year. Both were elected in the Republican landslide of 1994.

My Congressman. A USELESS RINO.

I've been voting for Democrats for several Congressional elections now.

It won't happen this fall.

Assemblyman Tony Bucco may be the one to win in November. I think he is running for Rodney’s seat.

You're either full of crap or you're a Democrat troll.

Who the hell on this website votes for a rabid leftist in a Congressional election?

The only problem is that we lose the “incumbency” which does matter. Plus, many of these seats will go to Democrats now that the RINO is dropping out. I wish we needed to lose 200 seats to lose majority instead of only 24 seats. We have 32 now vacant for November.

Not sure its Trump’s fault these guys are ‘retiring’.

Congress has made over 180 cash settlements for sexual harassment since 2006.

Yeah. C'est moi. The Democrat troll.

And you're either too lazy to check, or too stupid, to understand my posting history.

I've explained before my reasoning for voting for the Democrat against Frelinhuysen in the general election. I'm pretty sure I've explained it to you.

I guess you don't like my reasoning. Probably one of us is right and and one of us is wrong.

And you are sure that you are right. Therein lies the problem.

I may be right and I may be wrong, but one thing I’m pretty sure about is that you’re probably going to have a Democrat representative in that district after November 2018. I’m not sure how you’d even feel about that.

So you're clueless politically, too. This is a solid Republican district.
