TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Two-term Republican U.S. Rep. Jake LaTurner is not running for reelection this year in his GOP-leaning eastern Kansas district so that he can spend more time with his four young children, he announced Thursday.
LaTurner is among nearly two dozen Republicans in the U.S. House who are not running again or seeking another office.
“The unrepeatable season of life we are in, where our kids are still young and at home, is something I want to be more present for,” LaTurner said.
LaTurner’s announcement leaves Republicans with no declared candidates in a district he likely would have had little trouble winning again. While the district includes Democratic strongholds in the state capital of Topeka and northern Kansas City, they’re offset by rural areas that heavily favored former President Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020.
