Related: About this forumMike Gallagher Not Running For Reelection
He was one of three Republicans who voted against impeachment. He said on local TV that no one asked him to leave. I call BS on that. Wonder what his plans will be. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4460632-wisconsin-rep-gallagher-will-not-seek-reelection/amp/

But fundraising for that seat was going to be difficult. It also wasn't too late to primary him. We all know how dirty the GQP plays. Probably wanted to protect his family.
OTOH, he might have just decided he's had enough of the bullshit before he voted against impeachment.

If he means what he says, he could just resign now.
