Moderate Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) announced his retirement from Congress in an emotional House floor speech on Tuesday, telling his colleagues that “even the best stories have a last chapter.”“This is it for me,” said Upton, who was first elected to Congress in 1986 but faced a strong primary challenge from fellow Michigan GOP Rep. Bill Huizenga.“I’ve worked with seven administrations, seven House speakers — none of them would call me a rubber stamp. If it’s good policy for Michigan, it’s good enough for all of us,” added Upton, who was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump following last year’s Capitol riot.
