Rep. Gerry Connolly announced his decision not to run for office again due to a recurrence of esophageal cancer, after a long tenure supporting federal employees. Known for consistently introducing pay raise legislation since 2017, Connolly fought against opposition from Republican leaders and former President Trump, advocating for federal workers' rights throughout his career as a Congressman and prior roles. His announcement marks the end of an era of strong advocacy for public servants, emphasizing the value he placed on their contribution to the country.
"The federal workforce is our country's single greatest asset...Even after serving dutifully through a global pandemic... pay freezes, and job losses, we must continue to support our dedicated public servants."
