Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher said he will resign from Congress on April 19, following the four-term Republican’s announcement last month that he wouldn’t run for reelection.
“I’ve worked closely with House Republican leadership on this timeline and look forward to seeing Speaker Johnson appoint a new chair to carry out the important mission of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party,” Gallagher said Friday in a statement.
“Four terms serving Northeast Wisconsin in Congress has been the honor of a lifetime and strengthened my conviction that America is the greatest country in the history of the world,” he added.
