Veteran Texas congressman to retire

摘要

Texas Rep. Sam Johnson, the oldest Republican in the House, announced today that he will retire at the end of the 115th Congress. Johnson, 86, becomes the first congressional lawmaker to publicly say he won't seek reelection in the 2018 election cycle. Four Republican House members - Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina, Mike Pompeo of Kansas, Tom Price of Georgia and Ryan Zinke of Montana - are in line for high-level positions in President-elect Donald Trump's administration and could be leaving Congress soon.
