to marrying Rachel, representing you – the people and families of
Wisconsin’s 7th District - in Congress has been the highest honor of my
life. Together, we have engaged in the most important battles of our
time: protecting freedom of speech and religious liberty, taking care
of our veterans, defending the unborn, and saving American jobs and
American capitalism.
After eight and a half years, the time has come for me to focus more on the reason we fight these battles – family.
As you all know, raising a family is hard work. It's especially true
for one as large and busy as mine. Being away from home in Washington
four days a week is challenging and for that reason, I have always been
open to signs from God when it comes to balancing my desire to serve
both my family and my country.
Recently, we’ve learned that our
baby, due in late October, will need even more love, time, and attention
due to complications, including a heart condition. With much prayer, I
have decided that this is the right time for me to take a break from
public service in order to be the support my wife, baby and family need
right now. It is not an easy decision – because I truly love being your
Congressman – but it is the right decision for my family, which is my
first love and responsibility.
On September 23, I will step down
and allow others to step forward to begin laying out their own vision
and plans for leading this beautiful district and the most honest,
hard-working, family-oriented, patriotic, and God-fearing constituents
in America.
I will be forever grateful for and humbled by the
faith and sacred trust you have put in me all these years. I am
especially grateful for the prayers said on behalf of our family. We
hope they keep coming! I will miss being your Congressman, but I am also
looking forward to having more time with my family, being home for more
birthdays and hockey games, and having time to enjoy and care for our
new baby girl, who is already so loved by our family.
A special
thank you to my chief of staff, Pete Meachum, my district director,
Jesse Garza, and the rest of my loyal and competent district & DC
staff. They are the reason you have enjoyed the best and most attentive
customer service this district has ever had to resolve your federal
issues and problems. I am so proud of what they do and have full
confidence they will continue to seamlessly provide these valuable
services during the coming transition.
