WASHINGTON — Rep. Justin Amash, I-Mich., confirmed Thursday night that won’t be seeking re-election to Congress this year.
“I love representing our community in Congress. I always will. This is my choice, but I’m still going to miss it. Thank you for your trust,” the Libertarian congressman tweeted.
Amash also retweeted a report from The Detroit News that said he wasn’t campaigning for re-election.
The congressman’s office did not immediately return a request for comment. His chief of staff, Poppy Nelson, told the newspaper, "He hasn't been campaigning for any office and doesn't plan to seek the nomination for any office.”
