Via NY Times:
Representative Rush D. Holt Jr. of New Jersey, a research physicist who became Congress’ chief advocate for scientific research over eight terms, plans to announce Tuesday that he is not seeking re-election.
Mr. Holt, 65, joins 12 fellow Democrats, and 21 Republicans, in an exodus from the House. But in an interview, he said he was not bemoaning what he acknowledged was “a certain level of dysfunction” in Congress.
