House Oversight Committee chairman Trey Gowdy announced Wednesday that he will not be seeking re-election and will instead be returning to work in the justice system.
“Whatever skills I may have are better utilized in a courtroom than in Congress, and I enjoy our justice system more than our political system,” said Gowdy, who has become known for his quick-witted courtroom-style performances in committee hearings and television interviews. “As I look back on my career, it is the jobs that both seek and reward fairness that are the most rewarding.”
“There is no perfect time to make this announcement, but with filing opening in six weeks, it is important to give the women and men in South Carolina who might be interested in serving ample time to reflect the decision,” the statement continued.
Gowdy had seriously considering retiring before the 2016 election and had to be talked out of doing so.

Känns inte alls bra det här. Vad säger ni? Är det en stor förlust för GOP att han hoppar av?
