Washington state Democrat announces retirement
By Rachel Frazin - 12/04/19 01:24 PM EST

House Intelligence Committee member Denny Heck (D-Wash.) announced his retirement Wednesday.

"Today, I announce my retirement from a career in public service that began over forty years ago," he tweeted, with a link to a Medium Post explaining his decision to retire.

His retirement follows the conclusion of House Intelligence Committee hearings regarding possible impeachable offenses committed by President Trump.

Intelligence Committee members released their impeachment hearing report on Tuesday, just one day before House Judiciary impeachment proceedings.

40 years?   All those years and he's never worked a real job in his adult life.

Sad.

He's smart. He's getting out with full-retirement pay early enough he can claim "Don't blame ME,I retired!" when the Dim Party melts down in 2020.

He didn't serve the public, he served himself. Wonder how many millions he's worth on his salary that probably averaged about 100K per year.

He joins seven other Democratic House members who have either said they will not seek reelection or resigned from the chamber.

Not a good sign for the rats, but fortunately for them https://ballotpedia.org/List_of_U.S._Congress_incumbents_who_are_not_running_for_re-election_in_2020
says 3 republican Senators and one rat Senator are retiring while 20 republican Congressmen and 9 rat Congressmen are retiring so far for 2020 (the missing rat is Cummings who died). 

This is the time that incumbents take stock.  They ask if it is worth being in their minority, or barely majority party, and defending their leadership, hoping against reality it might lead to accomplishing something of worth.

Just what makes that little old ant  Think he'll move that rubber tree plant  Anyone knows an ant, can't  Move a rubber tree plant

While I have no candidate to associate all my hopes and dreams of the future, I got to say 2020 could be the most excited I have ever been about an election.  Thanx for posting this @mystery-ak
