Rep. Denny Heck (D-Wash.), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, announced he is retiring at the end of his term next year.<\/p>\n

On Twitter<\/a>, Heck said he is announcing his \u201cretirement from a career in public service that began over forty years ago. I wrote a brief note of thanks, explanation, and remembrance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heck was one of several Democratic lawmakers who questioned witnesses during the public phase of the impeachment inquiry in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the bulk of the Intelligence Committees work on impeachment behind us, Thanksgiving week provided me with a good opportunity for rest and reflection. I thought a lot about the privilege it is to serve the people of the 10th Congressional District and to be one of only approximately 12,000 people in our Republics history to serve in the US House.

There are simply too many hyperbolic adjectives and too few nouns. Civility is out. Compromise is out. All or nothing is in.\u201d<\/p>\n
