"House Energy and Commerce Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers is departing Congress just two years after taking the panel’s helm.

McMorris Rodgers, a Republican who has represented an eastern Washington state district since 2004, announced Thursday that she won’t seek reelection this year and will leave when her current term ends in January 2024.

“It’s been the honor and privilege of my life to represent the people of Eastern Washington in Congress. They inspire me every day,” she said in a statement."
