Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) announced on Tuesday that she will not run for reelection in 2022, becoming the latest House Democrat to bow out of Congress ahead of what is expected to be a difficult election year for the party.

"Today, I'm announcing that I will not be a candidate for reelection to Congress in 2022," Speier said in a video announcing her decision.

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

California is losing a seat due to redistricting anyway so she's probably taking one for the team.

Democrats are dropping like flies. They know they are going to get a major ass whooping.

Passing of an era. Both she and Feinstein got their gigs after a crazed Democrat murdered others higher up in the food chain.

Kool Aid Jackie! - she will always be remembered for advising Congressmen Leo Ryan to visit Jonestown - Ryan was killed by Jim Jones and Jackie Speier survived.

Speier took over Ryan’s seat in 2008

Doubt it. You’ll get Assistant Democrats like Rubio to take their places. Mitch McConnell delivered that $1.2T Democrat Slush Fund, after all. Without him and the rest of the ADs, it doesn’t pass in the Senate. Manchin didn’t even vote for it.

You and I probably do. RINOs and Trans-Republicans in Congress are stuck on stupid. They have no idea what to do with the leverage they have right now. There is zero mandate from the American people on anything Democrats want to jam down our throats. Sadly, a lot of the GOP has no idea what to do.

I’m sure they will find a way to redistrict out a remaining republican. Speier will be replaced by someone younger and probably worse.

Jim Jones was the PERFECT Marxist Democrat, Leader, Activist, Organizer, Humanitarian, Fundraiser and Fund misappropriator, at the time.

He was a god among ALL Northern California Democrats including Ryan and Speier.

The only thing he didn't do well was train his "security detail" to shoot.

The Media was notoriously silent about his standing after Jonestown.

Note, I knew Ryan personally and I refused to work with him before he brought Speier on board.

Actually, she got her "gig" after Congressman Ryan was murdered where, she herself was shot 5 times, by Jim Jones' cult.

As a side note, Jim Jones was a left-wing, democrat loon who supported and contributed heavily to all things democrat.

Republicans Gain Heavy House Edge in 2022 as Gerrymandered Maps Emerge
NYT via Yahoo | Nov 15, 2021 | by Reid J. Epstein and Nick Corasaniti | Posted by Oldeconomybuyer

EDITED Republicans are already poised to flip at least five seats in the closely divided House thanks to redrawn district maps ......

Republicans’ upper hand in the redistricting process, combined with plunging approval ratings for Biden and the Democratic Party, provides Repubs with what could be a nearly insurmountable advantage in the 2022 midterm elections and the next decade of House races.

Speier also rhapsodized about her own “really nice” abortion on the floor of the Congress.
