| Description | House Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier (R-Calif.) on Wednesday morning announced from the House floor that he would not seek reelection this year.
"We all know that this institution has an abysmally low approval rating, and the American people are asking for change in Congress, and so I'm announcing today that I will leave the Congress at the end of this year," the 16-term member joked.
Dreier is the eighth House Republican to announce his retirement this year, and the fourth Republican from California. Seven other House Republicans have decided to run for higher office. |
