Rep. Brenda Lawrence becomes 25th House Dem to not seek re-election

Rep. Brenda Lawrence announced late Tuesday she would not seek re-election
in November, becoming the 25th Democrat to decline to contest their House
seat in this year’s midterms.

Multiple reports indicated that Lawrence (D-Mich.) was unhappy with the
outcome of Michigan’s redistricting process, which changed her district
boundaries to incorporate more suburban areas rather than downtown
Detroit. Democratic sources told Politico that Lawrence had privately
complained to colleagues that the new congressional map divided majority-
black neighborhoods.

In a video posted on Twitter, the 67-year-old Lawrence — the only black
member of Michigan’s congressional delegation — noted that 2022 would be
her 30th year holding public office. She previously was a school board
member, city council member and mayor of the Detroit suburb of Southfield
before being elected to Congress in 2014.

“I’ve had the good fortune of serving the people of Michigan, on the local
and national levels,” Lawrence said. “Today, after reflecting on my
journey – and oh my goodness, what a journey — and having conversations
with my family, I am announcing that I will not be seeking re-election to
Congress.”

“I am incredibly grateful for the people in Michigan’s 14th Congressional
District, who placed their trust and vote in me — in me, just a little
black girl from the east side of Detroit,” she added. “You made me your
congresswoman.”

As part of the reshuffle, Lawrence’s hometown was drawn into a district
currently represented by Democrat Debbie Dingell, who became emotional in
an interview last week as she announced she would move to the university
city of Ann Arbor to run in the new 6th District centered there.

“As we have a new redistricting map, a new generation of leaders will step
up,” Lawrence said Tuesday. “We need to make sure our elected officials in
Michigan and across the country look like our communities.”

Lawrence’s retirement announcement came hours after Rep. Bobby Rush (D-
Ill.) also announced his intention not to run again, citing a desire to
spend more time with his family.

Republicans only need to gain a net of six seats to take back the House
majority and most polls indicate they are favored to pick up the necessary
wins.

In total, 17 of the 25 House Democrats not running for re-election are
retiring from public life, while four are running for the US Senate and
four others are running for other offices.

Other prominent Democrats to announce their retirement in recent weeks
include Reps. Lucille Roybal-Allard and Jackie Speier of California,
Stephanie Murphy of Florida and Albio Sires of New Jersey.

So far, 12 House Republicans have announced they are also not seeking
another two-year term.

The wharf rats are jumping ship.
They know the Democrat party is toast in 2022 and unless things turn around for the country
Joe Biden is toast in 2024.
They are getting out before they get voted out.
At least the smarter ones are.
