Rep. G.K. Butterfield says he will not seek re-election in 2022, making him the third Democratic member of Congress this week to announce retirement plans.
Butterfield, a prominent member of the Congressional Black Caucus and former CBC chair, was first elected to the House in 2004. Recent redistricting in North Carolina means he would have faced a tougher road to re-election.
Additionally, fellow North Carolina Democrat Dave Price said in October he would not run again next year. About another half-dozen Democrats in the House have also said they won't return to Congress for another term.
