"Serving the people of Nevada has been the honor of my lifetime. Nobody is prouder of our Nevada Congressional District than me. Thank you for the honor. Every achievement worth doing began with listening to Nevadans and fighting for our values. I came to Congress to solve problems and to make sure our State and Nation have strong voice in the federal policy and oversight processes. I look forward to finishing my term."
"(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File) Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) announced on Friday his retirement from Congress, making him the 30th House Republican not running for reelection this year.

He's served in the House since 2011, and he sits on the House Appropriations Committee, House Natural Resources Committee, and multiple subcommittees."

According the AP, which is tracking the exodus: More than 10% of incumbents plan to leave, which is the highest percentage at this point in the calendar since at least President Barack Obama's administration, according to an Associated Press analysis of House retirements going back to 2013."
