U.S. Rep. McMorris Rodgers won’t seek reelection
U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a Republican from Spokane, has announced she will not run for reelection, sparking some to interpret it as a sign of dysfunction within the GOP House majority. Despite her significant seniority and chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, McMorris Rodger’s decision indicates a dissatisfaction with the current state of Congress. The announcement follows a period of high-profile disarray in Congress, with bipartisan border security deals failing, and unsuccessful attempts from House Republicans to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. McMorris Rodgers is the second member of Washington’s congressional delegation to decline to run for reelection this year. She did not provide specifics about her future plans.
