Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.) announced Friday he resigned early from Congress, just days before his term would have come to an end on Tuesday.

A member of the House since 2004, Butterfield did not run for reelection during the 2022 midterms. He told local media Friday that he’s beginning his employment at a Washington law firm and will perform lobbying and policy work.
