JUST IN: Democrat Rep Gerry Connolly Abruptly Announces Retirement, Will Step Down From Oversight Committee Due to Cancer Diagnosis

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.)

Democrat Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly, 75, on Monday morning announced he is retiring from Congress and will step down as the ranking member of the Oversight Committee due to a cancer diagnosis.

In November Connolly announced he was diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus.

On Monday Connolly said the “sun is setting” on his time in Congress because his cancer has returned.

The Hill noted that the Oversight ranking member seat must be filled within 30 days.

Full statement from Connolly:

I want to begin by thanking you for your good wishes and compassion as I continue to tackle my diagnosis. Your outpouring of love and support has given me strength in my fights – both against cancer and in our collective defense of democracy.

When I announced my diagnosis six months ago, I promised transparency. After grueling treatments, we’ve learned that the cancer, while initially beaten back, has now returned. I’ll do everything possible to continue to represent you and thank you for your grace.

The sun is setting on my time in public service, and this will be my last term in Congress. I will be stepping back as Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee soon. With no rancor and a full heart, I move into this final chapter full of pride in what we’ve accomplished together over 30 years. My loving family and staff sustain me. My extended family – you all have been a joy to serve.
