Pantex Congressman Thornberry, Top House GOP Armed Services Member, to Retire in 2021

摘要

Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas), the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, said this week he will retire from Congress after 26 years. Thornberry announced Monday he would not stand for re-election in 2020, but will serve out the remainder of his term, slated to end Jan. 3, 2021. He will leave Congress after reaching perhaps the zenith of his influence as a member of the House GOP Conference, which limits its members to three consecutive terms as a committee leader.
