Indiana Republican Larry Bucshon will not seek re-election in 2024, he announced in a statement posted on X.

“For more than 230 years, men and women have chosen to serve our nation in Congress – in many cases at very difficult moments in history – and I am honored to be included in their ranks,” he added. “Recent disputes in Congress and difficulties in promoting policies on behalf of the American people have not damaged my faith in the form of government of our Constitutional Republic. In fact, it strengthened that belief.”
