Republican Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan has announced his retirement rather than his next election run.
After nearly three decades in Congress, Upton said he will step down after his current term is up, the Detroit Free Press reported.
“Even the best stories have a last chapter,” Upton said when he spoke on the House floor in a surprise announcement. “This is it for me.”
The timing comes as a surprise for some, but many already suspected that Upton would decide against another two-year term after an independent redistricting commission redrew district lines that put him and Republican Rep. Bill Huizenga in the same district, the Free Press reported.
Huizenga was recently endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
