Rep. Pete King, a moderate New York Republican now in his 14th congressional term, will not run for reelection in the fall, he announced Monday.
King, while “in good health,” decided with his wife that he’d like to spend more time with his children and grandchildren, he said in a statement. He went on to recount his “extraordinary experience” serving his Long Island district, namely his “efforts for 9/11 victims and their families” and “leading the successful effort to recover from Superstorm Sandy,” among other things.

That makes King the 20th Republican in the House to say they won’t run for reelection next year, as opposed to only eight Democrats who’ve declined to run. King won his district in 2018 with 53 percent of the vote, meaning it’s possible a Democrat could take over the spot next year.
