Rep. Harper won't seek reelection
Source: Politico
Rep. Gregg Harper, chairman of the House Administration Committee, won't run for reelection, he announced Thursday.
Harper, 61, has been in Congress since 2009 representing Jackson, Mississippi, and the surrounding area. In a statement, the five-term congressman said he has been thinking about when he would step down for nearly two years and made the final decision over the holiday break.
“After spending time over Christmas and New Year’s with my family, we made the very difficult decision to say that 10 years will be long enough,” Harper said.
“I never intended for this to be a career, and it will soon be time for another conservative citizen legislator to represent us. I will work hard over the final 12 months of my term this year, but I will not seek re-election for a sixth term.”
Democratic candidate: Jeramey Anderson

I think this may be a photoshop rather than Luckovich himself though.
