Florida Democrat Ted Deutch is reportedly planning to announce he will not run for re-election. The Florida Democrat’s upcoming announcement will mark the 31st House Democrat to decide not to seek re-election this year.

The Washington Examiner reports:

Deutch currently serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Judiciary Committee, and he chairs the House Ethics Committee.

Deutch will take a senior leadership position with the American Jewish Committee. It is unclear whether he will serve the remainder of his term. The Florida Democrat has been one of the leading voices in advocating a strong relationship with Israel during his tenure.

Republicans have argued that the growing number of retirements indicates that Democrats project that they will lose the majority in the midterm elections.

“Ted Deutch knows House Democrats’ majority is doomed so he made the smart decision to forgo reelection,” National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Mike Berg said in a statement.

The new Florida congressional maps haven’t been finalized but the district is expected to continue to lean blue.
