https://thehill.com/homenews/house/473838-gops-yoho-announces-retirement-from-congressRep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) announced he will not seek reelection on Tuesday, citing his pledge to only serve four terms in Congress.
“I believed when I ran on term limits. I ran on a pledge to serve four terms — eight years and come home," he said. "Many told me I was naive and they're probably right. I was told the district has changed three times and so the pledge isn't binding and I could rationalize that. However, I truly believe a person's word is their bond and should live up to their word."
The Florida Republican was first elected in 2012 and rose to become a senior member on the powerful House Foreign Affairs Committee.
He also sits on the House Agriculture Committee and is a member of the Republican Study Committee and House Freedom Caucus. Prior to his time in the lower chamber, Yoho worked as a large animal veterinarian.
