WA Congressmember Derek Kilmer not running for re-election

After six terms as Washington's representative in the 6th Congressional District, U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer said he's planning for life outside of Congress.

Kilmer, a Democrat, will not seek re-election in 2024. In his announcement Thursday, he framed the news from his perspective as a father, recalling how he has discussed his job with his children and the reasons behind his exit from D.C.
