Rep. Paul Mitchell, a second-term Michigan Republican with a House GOP leadership position, plans to announce Wednesday that he will not run for reelection next year, voicing frustration that “rhetoric overwhelms policy” in Washington.
…
“A career in Washington has never been my objective,” Mitchell plans to say. “My objective has always been simply to work to address significant challenges this nation faces: health care, immigration, and infrastructure for example. However, it appears to me that rhetoric overwhelms policy, and politics consumes much of the oxygen in this city.”
…
In his floor speech, Mitchell plans to say that he has been proud to be a member of Congress.
“But I have also begun asking myself about making a difference for my family,” he will say, according to his prepared remarks. “My children of all ages — but the youngest just 9 years old — have accepted their dad traveling this country extensively, working a demanding schedule, and frequently interrupting ‘family time’ with calls, emails and text messages.”
