FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, who has represented parts of Broward and Palm Beach counties since 2010, is resigning from the House of Representatives, he said Monday.
A close associate of the congressman said Deutch will become CEO of the American Jewish Committee.
The exact timing of Deutch’s departure wasn’t immediately clear. Besides saying he wouldn’t seek reelection, he said in a statement that he would serve “until Congress recesses for the next election.”
