Another “safe” Republican quits rather than face voters in November
WASHINGTON ― Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, a 12-term Republican from New Jersey and chairman of the most sought-after committee in Congress ― the Appropriations Committee ― announced Monday that he would not run for re-election.

You certainly don't want to be associated with Trump's next two years in office.
