House S&T Chairman Bart Gordon to Retire

Representative Bart Gordon (D-TN), chairman of the House Science and Technology Committee, announced today that he will not seek reelection next year. A Member of Congress since 1985, he said in a statement that “Turning 60 has led me to do some thinking about what’s next.” Noting that he has an 8 year old daughter and is the only child of his 83 year old mother, and has a wife with a demanding job, he said “They made sacrifices to allow me to do what I love by serving Congress, and now it’s my turn.” His full statement is available on the committee’s website.
