Rep. Frederica Wilson of Florida, a Democrat who has served in the House for 16 years, will not seek reelection in November, according to the Miami Herald.
Wilson is set to formally announce her retirement at an event held in her South Florida district.
The Miami Herald reported the news on Friday morning, ahead of Wilson’s planned public announcement later that day.
Wilson’s departure makes her the 30th House Democrat from the 119th Congress who will not be joining the 120th Congress.
Her decision to step away from Capitol Hill marks the end of a lengthy legislative career spanning nearly two decades in federal office.
The South Florida district she has represented will now face an open contest as Democrats and Republicans look to claim the seat.
Wilson’s retirement adds to a growing list of House Democrats who have chosen not to seek reelection ahead of the next congressional term.
The wave of Democratic retirements from the 119th Congress signals a significant reshaping of the party’s presence in the lower chamber going forward.
Wilson has been a prominent voice representing her South Florida constituency throughout her 16 years of service in Washington.
Her formal announcement at a district event marks the official close of a congressional career that spanned multiple administrations and legislative battles in the House.
