Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) has announced he won’t seek re-election in 2022, according to a statement released on Monday by the 86-year-old lawmaker who has previously said he will retire at the end of the current Congress.
“Today I announce that I will not seek a seventh term in the United States Senate in 2022,” Shelby, who served in the Senate longer than any other Alabamian, wrote in the release.
