Republican Rep. Sam Graves of Missouri, chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, announced his decision not to seek reelection, adding to the growing number of retirements ahead of the midterm elections. Graves, who has represented a GOP stronghold in rural Missouri since 2001, cited the need to make way for a new generation of conservative leaders. His departure is part of a trend that has seen 58 House members stepping down or pursuing other offices, setting the stage for record turnover in Congress.
