Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Mich.) on Nov. 16 said he’s retiring at the end of his term, joining a growing number of members who won’t seek reelection.

“For most of this year, I saw myself continuing to serve and was actively planning another campaign. But there are times in all our lives that make you reassess your own future and path. For me, being diagnosed with cancer earlier this year was one of those moments,” Mr. Kildee, 65, said in a statement.
