Congressman Mike Gallagher says he will not seek re-election.
Gallagher told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Saturday that he will leave Congress at the end of his current term to enter the private sector and spend more time with his family. The Republican from Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District is chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. In an interview with the Journal Sentinel, the 39-year-old Gallagher said, “I firmly don’t believe that the best use for the next chapter of my career is staying in Congress for another decade.”
