Rep. Filemon Vela (D-Texas) says he'll retire from the U.S. House when his current term ends in early 2023.
“I will not be seeking reelection to the House of Representatives in 2022,” Vela said in a March 22 statement to news outlets. “I will continue to focus on maintaining a Democratic House and Senate Majority in my capacity as a member of Congress and Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee, while working diligently for the people I am so grateful to represent.”
