Yarmuth, first elected to Congress in 2006, when he unseated a Republican incumbent in the Louisville-area district, said he wanted to spend more time with his family.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Democratic U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, the influential chairman of the House Budget Committee who has played a key role in pushing for President Joe Biden's efforts to expand the nation's social safety net, announced Tuesday that he will not seek another term in next year's election.
"I always said I couldn’t imagine being here longer than 10 years. After every election I was asked how long I intended to serve but I never had an answer. Today I do. This term will be my last.” State Sen. Morgan McGarvey, the top-ranking Democrat in the GOP-controlled Kentucky Senate, quickly announced on social media that he will run for Yarmuth's seat next year.
Yarmuth has headed the influential Budget Committee since Democrats retook control of the House in 2019 and had easily won reelection in recent cycles, as his district became increasingly blue.
