I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

In other words, he has been compromised, but he isn't willing to continue playing the game.

I’m not familiar with his district

Is this a safe Republican seat?

It is supposedly so. He won 72% to 15% over the Dem.

Solid GOP.  Went 64-35 for Gallagher in 2020.

He is my Rep and I liked him - up until he voted the wrong way on Myorkas. I’m mystified.

The guy who inexplicably did a 180 to save the regime’s point man on border security is going to quit and go work for the military-industrial complex? Pathetic.

An incredible fall - he had the makings of a star. He and Adam Kinsinger can be BFF’s now.

I guess the blowback this weekend was too much for him.  Not sure what he expected.  Completely misread his constituency.  Oh well.

In chaotic scene, Republicans argue with GOP lawmaker after ‘no’ vote on impeachment

I just checked his social media accounts, and the comments are brutal.  Not sure if he is resigning because of the blowback, that he knew he was going to quit and felt free to vote the way he did, or else, lost the support of a major patron or donor because of that vote.  Something clearly happened, and it also appears that he lied to a couple of local GOP committees in his district.  His vote and stubbornness on the floor, when it counted most, is baffling.
