Swing district Democratic Congressman Ron Kind announces he will not run for reelection
CBSN
Congressman Ron Kind of Wisconsin's 3rd district announced on Tuesday that this term would be his last, leaving another swing Democratic-held House seat without an incumbent in the 2022 midterm elections.
"The truth is I've run out of gas. At the end of this term it will be 26 years of running back and forth to Washington D.C. traveling around… and that takes its toll," he said in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Kind is the eighth House Democrat to either announce their retirement or a run for another office. Two of those, Ann Kirkpatrick of Arizona and Conor Lamb of Pennsylvania, who is running for the open Senate seat, are two other House Democrats in swing seats who are leaving the chamber.More Related News
