“After 9/11, I felt a calling to serve my State or Nation in some capacity. Serving in both the South Carolina State Legislature and the United States House of Representatives has been the culmination of that calling. I am blessed to have worked with amazing men and women in Congress. None have been more impressive than my DC and District staff, serving the constituents of the Palmetto State with efficiency and dedication. I am proud of my conservative voting record and the opportunities over these 14 years to lead the State and Nation on many issues important to South Carolina and the United States, especially in fiscal responsibility and American energy,” says South Carolina Freedom Caucasian Congressman Jeff Duncan, the 13th Republican to call it quits this cycle.
It’s not clear if this is related at all to Duncan getting caught banging some DC lobbyist and going though a divorce with his wife, but either way it’s another one biting the dust in the House GOP.
