We reported Friday that some House Republicans, after announcing their plans to retire at the end of their terms, are suddenly deciding to leave Congress early. I believe these "surprises" look like a deliberate attempt to hand control of the House over to the left before the end of the year.
The latest example of this treachery is Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI). He announced last week that he will vacate his seat on April 19th.
Under Wisconsin law, any vacancies after April 9th can't be filled until the November general election. If he vacates now, then there would be an earlier special election to fill the remainder of his term in this safely red district.
Translation: Gallagher picked a date that will empower the radical progressives by leaving his seat vacant for five months with the GOP majority hanging by a thread.
ACTION ITEM: Call Rep. Gallagher's office today at (202) 225-5665. Urge him to resign now so the people of Wisconsin's 8th District can have a voice in Congress.
