Democratic Rep. Alan Lowenthal of California announced Thursday that he will not seek reelection in 2022, joining a number of high-profile and long-serving lawmakers who plan to leave Capitol Hill after this term.
"It is time to pass the baton," Lowenthal, who has served nearly 10 years in Congress, said in a statement. "It is time to rest and surround myself with the benefits of a life well lived and earned honorably in the service of my fellow citizens."
Lowenthal, 80, is one of a more than a dozen House Democrats to announce their retirement ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, when their party faces a tough fight to try and hold onto their slim majority in the chamber.
