Eddie Bernice Johnson seeking female replacement after announcing retirement
[Wash Times] Can you smell the sinking ship rats?
Longtime U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson announced her retirement from Congress on Saturday, putting an end to a 30-year political career.

The Texas Democrat, who has represented the Dallas area for three decades, said she will be seeking a female replacement upon her intent to leave office.

"I will retire and I will recommend to you who is the best to follow me," Mrs. Johnson, 85, said, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Mrs. Johnson is the latest in a string of House Democrats who announced their intent to retire ahead of the 2022 midterms.

So far, 16 Democrats have announced their intent to retire ahead of next year, including several in vulnerable swing districts.
