Another House Republican Calls It Quits

Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR), the top Republican on the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee, will retire at the end of this Congress, Politico reports.

“The Oregon congressman is the 17 th House Republican to announce their retirement this cycle, a sign of how difficult it will be for the GOP to win back the majority in what’s already shaping up as a tough 2020 election.”
