Via WSFA TV in Montgomery: Congressman Terry Everett Announces Retirement.

From Everett’s statement:

For 15 years I have been allowed the privilege of representing the people of the 2nd District of Alabama in the U. S. House of Representatives. This has been an honor, privilege and responsibility that I have taken seriously. I’ve worked hard at it, and hope that my efforts to serve our nation, state and the 2nd District have been well received.

“In February I will celebrate my 71st birthday. While there remains much work to be accomplished by Congress, I made a difficult decision over the weekend not to seek election for a ninth term.

The district in question is quite Republican, so this retirement will have no effect on the partisan composition of the House. Everett has been running effectively unopposed for years.

    1. It may have no effect on the partisan composition of Alabama’s congressional delegation, but I will shout amen from the roof. I didn’t follow Everett so much until I came to Troy and he is wholly unimpressive and comes across as an idiot.l I perceive him as an embarrassment to Alabama, and will be glad to see him go.

    2. Is he close to being under indictment? That seems to be the main motivating factor for Congressional retirements these days (e.g. Rios-Montt’s son-in-law in IL).
