Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-Mo.) announced on Thursday his intention to retire at the end of his term this year, making him the latest member of Congress to choose not to run for reelection.

Mr. Luetkemeyer, who also served as a chairman of the Financial Services Committee on National Security, said he decided not to seek reelection after having “a lot of thoughtful discussion” with his family.
