Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) announced her decision not to seek re-election after nearly two decades of serving Eastern Washington.
Known for her conservative stance on health care, the environment, and taxes, she held leadership positions within the Republican Party and emphasized issues related to health care, veterans, and rural communities.
“After much prayer and reflection, I’ve decided the time has come to serve them in new ways. I will not be running for re-election to the People’s House,” McMorris Rodgers asked.
