Rep. Steve Stivers, who led House GOP campaign arm, retiring from Congress
Fox News
Rep. Steve Stivers of Ohio, who came into Congress during the Tea Party wave of 2010, announced on Monday that he’s stepping down from his House seat next month to become the president and CEO of the Ohio Chamber of Congress.
Stivers steered the National Republican Congressional Committee, the reelection arm of the House GOP, during the 2018 cycle, when the Democrats stormed back and recaptured the chamber’s majority for the first time in eight years. The congressman’s announcement also takes him out of the running for the GOP nomination in the 2022 race to succeed retiring Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio. Stivers was considered a potential contender in the ever growing field of Republicans who have declared their candidacy or moved toward launching a campaign. Stivers represents Ohio’s 15th Congressional District, which includes the southern portions of Columbus, as well as suburban, exurban and rural areas to the south and west of Ohio’s capital city.More Related News
