Representative Mike Gallagher (R-WI) announced that he will be resigning from Congress early.
Gallagher said in a statement, “After conversations with my family, I have made the decision to resign my position as a member of the House of Representatives for Wisconsin’s Eight Congressional District effective April 19, 2024.”

“Four terms serving Northeast Wisconsin in Congress has been the honor of a lifetime and strengthened my conviction that America is the greatest country in the history of the world. I will forever be proud of the work I did on the Armed Services and Intelligence Committees, chairing the Cyberspace Solarium COmmission, and chairing the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. It has truely been an honor to servce in the House of Representatives.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) responded to the announcement, saying it has been an “honor” to serve alongside Gallagher.
