Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) is retiring after more than 40 years in Congress.
The 76-year-old Republican, who is the second-most senior member of the House, announced Wednesday that he will not be seeking reelection in 2020. He will serve out the rest of his 21st term in Congress, which ends in January 2021.

Safe seat?
40 years in Congress.
I think I see the problem.
L
Poster boy for term limits.
Yup. He represents the late pleistocene.
It will be an easy hold fo the GOP and the first piece for the Republicans to retake the House in 2020!
Here we go again. That’s one reason why the Rats took the house in 18. A lot of Pubbies retired. Other reasons:
1. Mueller kept the Russian investigation going even though they knew that there was no collusion from the beginning.
2. The Rats lied,as usual,about their “conservative beliefs”.
3. The Kavanaugh confirmation hearings motivated their crazy base.
4. Ballot harvesting in Mexifornia.
5. People fell for their health care lies.
6. I still believe that idiot that sent those fake bombs had an effect on the election.
7. And last,all of the crooked votes that they claim are not happening.
Meanwhile the Republicans can’t get a message going if it were handed to them.
He was far from being one of the worst but he did give us the PATRIOT act and that was bad enough to tarnish his otherwise ok record completely in my book.
Just like 2018... lots of incumbents retiring.
And Ryan prevented the wall from being funded.
I think so.
Yeah, forty years is along time of listening to, and obeying, idiots.
Not if you ask Scott Walker. Wisconsin might have gone Trump but it’s still a blue state.
Does anyone know if any Dems are expected to retire?
I haven’t heard. The Rats may be crazy but they’re not stupid when it comes to winning by any means necessary.
I lean more to the early pliocene, myself but you make a good point.
I think there are two that are retiring.
One word. Go !
Screw ANY politician that makes it a career
TERM LIMITS !!!!!
I am very opposed to term limits, the swamp can always find another empty suit to fill vacancies but we have a hard time finding anyone decent.
Let the voters throw people out if it needs to be done.
lol
