On Friday, Democrat Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger (MD) announced that he will not seek re-election for the seat he has held since 2003.
Ruppersberger called the decision "difficult" but acknowledged that it's time to "pass the torch" to the younger generation.
"This was an incredibly difficult decision for me because, now more than ever, Congress needs thoughtful, end-game representatives like me — members who care more about constituents and our country and less about cable news hits," Ruppersberger said in a statement, according to Politico. "But it is time to pass the torch to a younger generation of leaders and I am looking forward to spending more time with my family."
"It's been the honor of a lifetime, Maryland! After 21 years in Congress, I have decided to pass the torch to our next generation of leaders and retire at the end of my current term," Ruppersberger wrote on X. This election, my name will not be on the ballot. I’ve decided to retire to spend more time with my family," he said in a video announcing his retirement.

“...thoughtful, end gamers like me....”. Oh, okay. FIDIOT!
Well, Bye!
[you useless traitor]
Another communist bites the dust...
His replacement will be a clone...
That’s pretty much true of most districts in MD.
Thanks for everything Dutch. You make me proud to pay taxes.
He’s a total Pelosi lackey. He was my “representative”.
Good riddance Dutch.
Roger that. My fellow Marylanders will select another brain dead democrat.
Does this mean he’s on the flight logs?
Well said.
Just like every other demonrat.
