Democrat Filemon Vela (D-TX)

Texas Democrat Filemon Vela resigned early from Congress.  He won’t even finish the year.

​Rep. Ted Deutch of Florida announced in late February that he will not run for re-election this year. Deutch became the 31st House Democrat to decline to contest their seat in the midterm elections. The far left Democrat said he was leaving politics to become the CEO of the American Jewish Committee.
