Rep. Neal Dunn (R-Fla.) on Tuesday said he would retire from Congress, forgoing a reelection bid and further weakening the Republican House majority.
“After much prayerful consideration and discussion with my family, I have decided not to seek re-election to the United States House of Representatives. This will conclude my service after five meaningful terms representing the people of Florida’s Second Congressional District…” Dunn said in a Tuesday post on X.
“The time has come to pass the torch to new conservative leaders, return home to Panama City, and spend more precious time with my family and our beloved grandchildren. I am deeply grateful for your trust, support, and prayers over these years,” he added.
His announcement follows quickly after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) vacated her seat in the middle of her term last week. In addition to Dunn, over two dozen GOP lawmakers in the lower chamber will not seek reelection, including Reps. Jodey Arrington (R-Texas), Wesley Hunt, (R-Texas), Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Randy Feenstra (R-Iowa), David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) and Thomas Tiffany (R-Wis.).
