NV-02: Rep. Mark Amodei (R) announces retirement from Congress

U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV2) has announced that he's retiring from Congress.

He released this statement:

"Serving the people of Nevada has been the honor of my lifetime. Nobody is prouder of our Nevada Congressional District than me. Thank you for the honor. Every achievement worth doing began with listening to Nevadans and fighting for our values.

"I came to Congress to solve problems and to make sure our State and Nation have strong voice in the federal policy and oversight processes. I look forward to finishing my term. After 15 years of service, I believe it is the right time for Nevada and myself to pass the torch."

More likely he is getting tired of kissing tsf butt.
He did say earlier this week that ICE should ramp down its tactics.
We’ll probably just get a crazier R candidate.
Could open up the Dem’s side to a more well known name as it was almost an assured loss against Amodei.

It will likely stay red. It is very similar to Oregon’s District 2.
