Longtime Democratic Rep to Retire After 30 Years in Congress

[TOWNHALL] Democratic Rep. Bobby Rush, who represents Illinois’ 1st congressional district, announced Tuesday that he will not seek a 16th term in the U.S. House of Representatives. Rush first assumed office in January of 1993. "After nearly three decades in Congress, I have been reassigned," Rush said in a statement. "Let me make it clear that I am not retiring, I am returning. I’m returning home, returning to my church, returning to my family and grandchildren — but my calling to a life of service is stronger than ever. I am expanding my tent beyond the guardrails of Congress."

#2 Onetime Black Panther leader. He and Fred Hampton co-founded the Illinois Chapter.

He survived the 1968 FBI/Chicago Police attempt to murder both Hampton and him. Hampton didn't survive that. Rush only did because he was 'elsewhere' as he put it.
