Not meaning to hijack this VA Gov thread...but...does anyone know what's up with all of the squishy R's in the House not seeking re-election?

Saw this Dem hoping for an opportunity, here ⬇

12 House Rs vacating winnable seats so far:

Ros-Lehtinen
Reichert
Trott
Dent
Murphy
Tiberi
Jenkins
Pearce
Renacci
Barletta
McSally

Maybe we can get real Republicans in those seats.

[Mr Rogers]

If McSally leaves, it will be to run for the Senate seat McFlake is vacating in AZ. She would run as the GOP-E antidote to Kelli Ward. Independents get to vote in the primary in AZ, so getting a real conservative in could be a challenge.

The district she would vacate leans GOP, but narrowly.

Ros-Lehtinen -retiring (age)
Reichert
Trott - avoids losing in primary
Dent - avoids losing in primary
Murphy - sex scandal
Tiberi - leaving for cushy chamber of commerce job
Jenkins
Pearce - running for gov. NM
Renacci - running for gov. OH

McSally - I have not heard this one.
