She has routinely faced competitive reelection battles in her narrowly-divided district‚ but has won by double digits the last two cycles. Kuster’s announcement means more than a dozen House Democrats are leaving Congress this year without immediate plans to run for higher office – including veteran lawmakers and members of leadership. Roughly a dozen House Republicans‚ including many powerful committee chairs‚ are also planning to retire. Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc.)‚ chair of the China Select Committee‚ announced plans to resign next month. He’s the latest in a series of retiring Republicans who decided to cut their terms short. Many other lawmakers in both parties are leaving their seats to run for Senate or other offices.

The ticket lost one of the closest elections in American history. “No Jew had ever sought such a lofty office‚” wrote the authors of “Jews in American Politics.” “The net effect of the nomination‚” they added‚ “has been to change the perception of what is possible for Jewish candidates for office for all time.” Four years later‚ he sought the Democratic nomination for president‚ without success. Lieberman was known as a hawk on foreign affairs‚ becoming one of the legislative fathers of the Department of Homeland Security‚ which was established in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11‚ 2001. His penchant for aligning himself with two Republican colleagues‚ Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina‚ particularly when it came to American military policy in Iraq‚ cost him his party’s Senate nomination in 2006‚ but he was able to win reelection as an independent. McCain considered picking Lieberman as his running mate on the 2008 GOP presidential ticket but was persuaded otherwise by Republicans worried that it would cause a rift in the party.
