Representative Pete King, a New York Republican who has served in Congress since 1993, announced this morning that he would not seek reelection next year.
After talks w my family I will not seek re-election in 2020. Difficult decision as my 28 yrs in Congress have been extremely fulfilling while fighting for my constituents: 9/11 & Sandy funding/combating terrorism & MS-13. I thank residents of NY2 for allowing me to represent you.

Pete Buttigieg praised the accomplishments of Barack Obama‘s presidency after an LA Times report misquoted the Democratic presidential candidate as lamenting the “failures of the Obama era.”
