Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) announced on Tuesday that she will not run for reelection in 2022, becoming the latest House Democrat to bow out of Congress ahead of what is expected to be a difficult election year for the party.
“Today, I’m announcing that I will not be a candidate for reelection to Congress in 2022,†Speier said in a video announcing her decision.
“It’s time for me to come home,” she added. “Time for me to be more than a weekend wife, mother and friend.â€
She is the ninth House Democrat to retire.
Speier is the ninth House Democrat to announce retirement plans ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, when the party will have to defend its razor-thin majority in the lower chamber. A half-dozen other Democratic members are running for other offices next year.
