Oregon’s Democratic U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer has announced that he won’t be running for reelection next year
U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer, a quirky but deeply respected figure in Oregon politics for decades, has decided not to seek reelection after 27 years in Congress, citing turmoil on Capitol Hill and a desire to be more involved in addressing the challenges facing his hometown of Portland. Known for donning a bow tie and bicycle pin, Blumenauer, 75, has served roughly five decades in public office at the local, state and federal level.
” In Washington, Blumenauer continued to champion what he describes as “the most efficient form of transportation designed' and used it as a means to bring lawmakers together. “As the founder of the Congressional Bike Caucus, Rep. Blumenauer turned his passion for cycling into a movement for safer streets in Washington D.C., Portland and beyond,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a statement.
