Michigan Rep. Fred Upton Retiring

WooHoo. He has been a Democrat-run Republican in Michigan for decades. Good riddance!

Washington Times – Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan, one of 10 Republican lawmakers who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump, is calling it quits after more than three decades in Congress.

Mr. Upton on Tuesday announced on the House floor that he is not seeking re-election in the 6th Congressional District at the end of his term. The 68-year-old has served in the House since 1987.

“Even the best stories have a last chapter: This is it for me,” Mr. Upton said, battling back tears.

Mr. Upton was among the 10 Republicans that voted to impeach Mr. Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Mr. Trump responded by endorsing state Rep. Steve Carra’s bid to unseat Mr. Upton in the 6th Congressional District’s primary election. But Mr. Carra dropped his bid last month when Mr. Trump endorsed Rep. Bill Huizenga, after the new congressional maps drew Mr. Upton into his district.
