Rep. Ted Deutch Becomes The 31st Democrat To Announce His Retirement Ahead Of 2022 Midterms
2022-03-01
[DailyCaller] Democratic Florida Rep. Ted Deutch announced Monday that he will not seek re-election, making him the 31st Democrat to announce they would be retiring ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

Deutch is leaving Congress to take on a job in a big shotship position with the American Jewish Committee, CBS Miami first reported. The American Jewish Committee "is the leading global Jewish advocacy organization. From city halls to Capitol Hill, at the UN and in world capitals, AJC works to impact policy and opinion on some of the most important issues facing the Jewish people," its website states.

Deutch is the chairman of the House Ethics Committee
...think of a nudibranch pretending to be a vertebrate...
 and serves on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
He objected to the Corbynization of the Democratic Party. Now he’ll fight it from outside instead of having the nonsense distract him from traditional politicking.
"After serving the public for more than 15 years, I have decided I will not seek re-election this November. Public service was instilled in me by my father who earned a Purple Heart in the Battle of the Bulge, and it has been a tremendous privilege to serve the people of Palm Beach and Broward Counties in Congress since 2010. I am incredibly grateful to my constituents for their support and friendship," Deutch said in a statement.

Deutch is the chairman of the House Ethics Committee and serves on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

#1  I remain hopeful for the forces of light to prevail but never underestimate the ability of the GOP to eff things up! Now where have I heard that before?
