On Thursday, Georgia Rep. Drew Ferguson (R) announced he would not pursue another term in Congress.
The Georgia Republican did not say what exactly spurred his decision but said he looks forward to spending more time with his family.
“Upon the conclusion of the 118th Congress, I will be retiring from the House of Representatives,” Ferguson said. “Serving the wonderful constituents of Georgia's Third District has been the honor of a lifetime. I have been blessed to have worked with such a talented and dedicated staff in my District and D.C. offices.”
“Georgia is truly a special place, and it's calling us home. Julie and I look forward to spending more time with our children and grandchildren while continuing to work to keep Georgia the best state in America to live and do business,” he added.
Ferguson, in his statement, highlighted his work on the Ways and Means Committee and said he was “honored” to serve as the chief deputy whip.
“I've also been proud to advance policies addressing antimicrobial resistance and the battle we are facing with a mental health crisis,” he added.
