Two Democratic congressmen announced on Thursday they would not seek another congressional term in 2024, opening seats in Maryland and North Carolina. Rep. John Sarbanes (MD), who served 18 years in the chamber over the course of nine terms, said he plans to return to nonprofit work. “For some time now, I have found myself drawn back to that kind of work—wanting to explore the many opportunities to serve that exist outside of elected office,” he said in a statement. Rep. Jeff Jackson (NC) announced that he would instead run for state attorney general, a decision that comes in the wake of gerrymandering by North Carolina Republicans that all but guaranteed he would not have won re-election in his district. “I’m running for attorney general, and I’m going to use that job to go after political corruption,” he said in a video on Thursday.

I hope people understand that being an executive of a non profit can be personally very lucrative.
Given how split the democrats are any open seat is an opportunity.
Yahoo is a bunch of deluded rat children. These Dems leaving has absolutely nothing to do with “the speaker drama”
Is Jeff Jackson going after corruption. Lots of target in the democratic party. Easy pickens’ dude.
I would like to see less taxpayer money going to non profits, particularly those who deal with “refugees”
Democrap:
“wanting to explore the many opportunities to serve that exist outside of elected office”
Time to cash in all those bribes...lobby for a large contributor.
Damn. We should have nominated “what’s his name” two or three months ago.
“...he plans to return to nonprofit work.”
It’s important to note that “nonprofit” is nothing more than a tax status.
Not much of an opportunity in Maryland. Extreme gerrymandering has left MD with one Republican Congressman out of eight.
Neither had anything to do with the “speaker drama”.
obama judges say that’s ok. But any republican drawn congressional districts are “unconstitutional” and must be redrawn to give Dems an advantage.
Obama is the sh##stain that keeps on showing up.
Oh, have enough graft and contractor connections eh?
Matt Gaetz thanks you!
More evidence that term limits are needed for ALL elected positions.
A democrat running for AG to go after corruption????????
Yeah, sure.
Run a stalking horse, someone extremely far left as a 3rd party. Split the demovote
The Red Cross paid Elizabeth Dole $500,000 a year THAT was when I NEVER donated another penny to the Red Cross this was back in the 90’s so that was a hell of a lot of money back then!!
