WASHINGTON - U.S. Representative John Katko, one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach then-President Donald Trump on a charge of inciting the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capital, said on Friday he would not seek re-election in 2022.
"My conscience, principles, and commitment to do what's right have guided every decision I've made as a member of Congress, and they guide my decision today," Katko said. He is in a fourth two-year term representing parts of northern New York. A former federal prosecutor, Katko was the third of 10 Republicans https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-republicans-impeachment-fac/factbox-ten-republicans-back-trump-impeachment-after-storming-of-u-s-capitol-idUSKBN29I19H in the House of Representatives to choose not to seek re-election in the 2022 contests that will determine control of Congress. Democrats hold slim majorities in both the House and Senate.
