Rep. Neal Dunn (R-Fla.) is retiring, he announced Tuesday in a post on social media, becoming the latest House Republican to call it quits ahead of what is expected to be a punishing midterm election year for the party in power.
The five-term member said in a statement that he was proud to fight for “lower taxes, our military and veterans, the unborn, healthcare innovation, and policies that empower Americans over bureaucracy and addressing threats from Communist China, Russia and others.”
“The time has come to pass the torch to new conservative leaders, return home to Panama City, and spend more precious time with my family and our beloved grandchildren,” he wrote.
