Myrick not seeking another Congressional term

Rep. Sue Myrick announced on her Facebook page she would not be seeking another term in Congress.

"After thoughtful discussion with my family, I have decided not to run for another term in Congress. I'm grateful for the privilege of serving you. We have all been blessed by staff members who truly care and delight in helping to solve problems for everyone in the district,” she wrote.

Myrick is a former mayor of Charlotte and the first Republican woman from North Carolina to be elected to Congress.

She has served the 9th District since 1995, succeeding five-term incumbent Alex McMillan.

She served on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Myrick was the founder of the Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus and the first woman to chair the Republican Study Committee.
