Martha Roby Will Not Seek Re-Election

Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL) said she will not stand for re-election next year, the Montgomery Advertiser reports.

Roby did not specify a reason for her departure from Congress in a statement emailed on Friday and posted on Twitter.

Roll Call: “Roby is one of just 13 Republican women in the House. She’s the second Republican woman to announce her retirement, following Indiana’s Susan W. Brooks and the fifth Republican to announce this year that they will not run for re-election.”
