Rep. Ted Deutch of Florida announced Monday that he will not run for re-election this November, becoming the 31st House Democrat to decline to contest their seat in the midterm elections.
In a statement, Deutch said he was leaving politics to become the CEO of the American Jewish Committee and build on his work in Congress as a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
“Even as Iran continues its illicit quest for nuclear weapons and support for terror groups worldwide, we are also witnessing a new era of cooperation in the Middle East that brings transformative new opportunities,” Deutch said. “For me, this foreign policy work has been a natural continuation of my deep ties to the American Jewish community and my long-standing advocacy on behalf of the U.S.-Israel relationship.”
