January 6, 2022 | Michigan
Democratic Michigan Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence announced her upcoming retirement on Tuesday, becoming the 25th House Democrat who won’t seek re-election as the 2022 midterms approach.
“Today, after reflecting on my journey — and oh, my goodness, what a journey — and having conversations with my family, I am announcing that I will not be seeking reelection to Congress,” Lawrence said in a video posted to Twitter Tuesday night.
“I am incredibly grateful for the people in Michigan’s 14th Congressional District, who placed their trust and vote in me — in me, just a little black girl from the east side of Detroit. You made me your congresswoman. It has been a tremendous honor and privilege to be your voice in Congress and to fight for our communities and issues in Washington, D.C., on a national platform.”..
