Rep. Ryan Zinke, the Montana Republican who served as Interior secretary during the first Trump administration, is retiring after two stints in the House.
Zinke, the first Navy SEAL elected to Congress, said he’s undergone multiple surgeries in recent years related to his military service.
“The injuries sustained from a career in Special Operations are not immediately life threatening, but the repair cannot be deferred any longer and recovery will require considerable time with my wife Lola and my family,” Zinke, 64, said in a statement Monday.
