Indiana Rep. Larry Bucshon won’t seek reelection, he announced Monday, joining a number of fellow Republicans and fellow doctors who said they would leave Congress after their terms end.
“Scripture teaches us, ‘For everything there is a season,’ and it became clear to me over the Christmas holiday with much discernment and prayer that the time has come to bring my season in public service to a conclusion,” the seven-term Republican said in a statement.
A member of the Republican Main Street Partnership, Bucshon said that “recent disputes in Congress and difficulties advancing policy on behalf of the American people have not soured my faith in our Constitutional Republic form of government.”
