Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.), the ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, will not seek reelection in 2020, The Hill confirmed on Monday.
Walden, 62, was first elected to the House in 1998 after serving in the Oregon House of Representatives and Oregon Senate. He also previously owned and operated multiple radio stations.
The Oregon Republican easily won his reelection in 2018. The district is expected to be retained by the GOP.
Some have speculated Walden could succeed Gordon Smith as the head of the National Association of Broadcasters.
