Longtime House appropriator Mark Amodei, R-Nev., who currently oversees spending for the Department of Homeland Security, announced Friday that he will not run for reelection in November.
“I came to Congress to solve problems and to make sure our State and Nation have a strong voice in the federal policy and oversight processes,” Amodei said in a statement. “I look forward to finishing my term. After 15 years of service, I believe it is the right time for Nevada and myself to pass the torch.”
Since prevailing in a special election in 2011, Amodei has grown accustomed to winning reelection by comfortable margins.
