Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) said she won’t seek re-election to her House seat as she focuses on winning the race for president.

“I’m fully committed to my offer to serve you, the people of Hawaii & America, as your President & Commander-in-Chief. So I will not be seeking reelection to Congress in 2020. I humbly ask for your support for my candidacy for President of the United States,” Gabbard said in a statement late Oct. 24.
