Indiana Representative Trey Hollingsworth announced he does not intend to seek re-election, becoming the 12th Republican to bow out ahead of this year’s midterms elections.
According to The Washington Examiner:
In an op-ed for the Herald-Times, Hollingsworth wrote, “I ran for Congress to return this government to the people from the career politicians who had broken it, and I will be damned if I become one in the process. I hope Hoosiers will replace their Congressman with someone with a similar attitude. Voters in America should, too.”
The third-term lawmaker cited his pledge in 2016 to spend no more than four terms in the House if elected because “serving the public wasn’t intended to be a career by our founders.”
The district is considered a safe Republican seat, located in south-central and southeastern Indiana and stretching from the southern suburbs of Indianapolis to the Kentucky state line. Hollingsworth, 38, would likely have been elected to a fourth term had he sought one.
Hollingsworth was one of just 35 Republicans who joined Democrats to support the creation of an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
Some are speculating Hollingsworth will make a gubernatorial run now that he’s leaving Congress.

Good riddance, maybe a real conservative will run for his seat.
WILL BE A DUMERCRAT IN CONSERATIVE CLOTHING.
You mean someone electable?
“Real Conservatives” make up a about 30% of our population.
God Damn Democracy
I don’t know anything about Trey Hollingsworth but his statement of; “I ran for Congress to return this government to the people from the career politicians who had broken it,….” is something that I believe in totally. My question is; “Did Mr. Hollingsworth put any legislation forward for TERM LIMITS?” If not, then he is just another lying politician and we have more than enough of those no matter what political party they are from.
We the people determine term limits at the ballot box.
If terms are limited law they should be limited to one.
You can’t run for a seat you occupy.
*law
I would imagine he was going to have another republican run against him
I would imagine he is man of honor.
That he would stick to his word.
That he is true Rebublican.
Not a former member of the Democratic Party.
If he voted for the fake Lizzie committee, I say good riddance. Indiana is a red state. Hopefully someone better will replace him.
They better get their crap together instead of wasting time on this fake set up 6th committee and start to focus on what is going on with the Russians , China, and the rest of our foes before its to damn late!!!!! All these crazy demo’s can’t see the forest for the trees! Our country is being destroyed by this pres. and the stupid demos that can not see
anything but taking down Trump!!!! I’m sick of it and all their games changing the rules is
all they can think of to get us all in bankruptcy and let Biden – Obama & company take us
to our knees….we better smarten up and fast!!!
The Russians prefer Trump over Biden.
The Russians got away with a big piece of Ukraine under Trump’s
Art of the Deal
Trump taught China that it does not need America to improve it’s standard of living.
The whole world wants quality Chinese goods.
He joins John Katko from NY. Another RINO realizing he will not survive a primary. I worked for the guy’s initial race and helped unseat a Democrat idiot. Katko’s problem is that he does not represent those who put him in office the voter and he now realizes it. He was very successful as a Federal prosecutor of gangs but now I question how intelligent do you really have to be to achieve this? He quit and gets a paycheck for the rest of his life, guess he won this one to.
That is part of the plan, remove these traitor RINOS from politics, and focus on Patriotism and honesty, that would be refreshing!!!
Not familiar with this guy but he sounds like he should take his 4th term and help get the bll rolling. I have respect for the fact that he does not want to be a career politician. That is something that you never see. I hope he changes his mind.
We the people decide how long a politician’s career lasts.
We don’t need a bunch of politicans telling us when it is time for someone to move on.
A true man of honor.
So rare these days.
The future of our nation depends on one man.
An old fat orange man.
Democratic terrorists,Biden is just a non-reasoning puppet, with many handlers and spoke-persons, he has 50 years of non-accomplishments, and will never have the mental technique to muster any up!!
If you are an American then your President is Joe Biden.
Now swallow it.
Spitting will change nothing.
This will give the Dems a better chance at the seat.
Donald Trump is such a warm loving man.
So Jesus like.
Tell that to Pelosi and her communist regime of domestic terrorists
Tell when you people can elect a majority in the House.
Or the Senate.
