Another member of the U.S. House of Representatives is declining to run in 2024.
Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) will step down at the end of his term after representing Oregon in the House for 29 years, he announced on Oct. 30.
"Simply said, it is time to continue my life’s mission without the burden of day-to-day politics," Mr. Blumenauer, 75, said in a statement.
He said the choice to step down was difficult but that he will keep "championing livable communities starting right here in Portland and being a resource and a partner for the next generation.”
Mr. Blumenauer has been an elected official since 1973. He served as a member of the Oregon House of Representatives, on the Multnomah County Board of County Commissioners, and as the Portland city commissioner before entering Congress after winning a special election in 1996.
"I have been fortunate to call Earl Blumenauer a mentor and a friend since I first ran for Congress. The Portland region, the State of Oregon, and the country have all benefitted enormously from Earl’s vision and leadership," Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-Ore.), 69, said in a statement.

The rats who are leaving are the ones who see what is coming and want to get out while the getting is good.
Effing thieves and scum, all of them.
Especially the ones who have anything to do with Blue Cities or Blue States.
this seat will elect Antifa.
I guess I'd like to know 'whats coming' for them. Let me know when the first one goes to prison.
He will be replaced by a communist
29 years.....25 years too long....................
A wave of retirements from Congress is usually a sign that things will not go well for that party in the next election. In addition, fundraising and candidate recruitment tend to become harder for that party.
He rode the gravy train for 29 years? Now he’s a millionaire.
TERM LIMITS,.....
TERM LIMITS.....TOTALLY NEEDED!~!!!!
Generic polling in regards to Democrat v. Republican for 2024 must be looking pretty bad.

... Earl Blumenauer finally bicycles off into the sunset ...
Is the country better off or worse off than when he took office in 1973?
So much for his “public service”....
If they can overcome the dress code.

29 years!? Term limits!!
He certainly “fixed” Portland...
Looks like a gun and he’s getting ready to blow his brains out. Nice picture.
Only 29 years?
Another quitter.
The ones who retire now are getting away clean with all the swag they can carry. They are the smart ones. Mostly what is coming to them is a prosperous and quiet retirement.
What is coming for their successors is increasing concern about physical safety, and which guards they can trust to maintain it.
HIS LIFE MISSION???
HE IS 75
I assume he will replaced by an further left progressive democrat.
*****************
You’ve assumed correctly.
Blumenauer’s district is Portland, Multnomah County, which is 77% democrat & is the most liberal district in the state.
