Stephanie Murphy Says She Won’t Seek Reelection In 2022

Andrew Trunsky  |  20 Dec 2021

Florida Democratic Rep. Stephanie Murphy said Monday that she would not seek reelection in 2022.

Her coming retirement, first reported by Politico, is a blow to Democrats’ moderate wing; Murphy flipped an Orlando-based GOP seat in 2016 and rose to lead the centrist Blue Dog Coalition.

“It’s been a real honor for me to serve in Congress, but it does come at a personal sacrifice,” Murphy told Politico. “My time away has been hard on my family and my kids and on me.”

The third-term congresswoman, a member of the Jan. 6 Select Committee who was rumored to potentially challenge Republican Sen. Marco Rubio in 2022, did not rule out a run for future office.  .  .  .

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

"It's come at a personal sacrifice" but she "did not rule out a run for future office".

I call bull.  She sees the writing on the wall and wants to abandon a sinking ship.

The legislature is probably going to make her marginal district less blue, or stretch it northeast and flip it red.  Two safe blue districts will be centered around Orlando.
