Rep. Ron Kind Won't Run Again in 2022

Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee and an advocate for free trade, announced that he will not run for re-election. Kind has served in the House of Representatives for 26 years, representing a largely rural district in Wisconsin. "I always tried to make decisions that I thought were in the best interest of the people at home here and not for powerful special interests or the political leadership of either party," Kind said during his retirement speech. Kind was one of the founding members of the New Democrat Coalition, a centrist House group that promotes fiscal responsibility and economic growth.
