Via The Hill, Rep. Steve Buyer will announce today that he won’t seek reelection this year. The nine-term Indiana Republican has been in hot water recently over allegations that his charity, the Frontier Foundation, has acted simply as a vehicle for siphoning campaign contributions from corporate leaders. Earlier this week, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Congress filed ethics complaints against both Buyer and the Frontier Foundation.
Local news is reporting that he wants to spend more time with his family.

Here we are again, this flurry of Democratic retirements shows the party is disintegrating and … oh wait, that's a Republican. Well, that doesn't mean anything then.

Here we are again, this flurry of Democratic retirements shows the party is disintegrating and … oh wait, that's a Republican. Well, that doesn't mean anything then. It's just Buyer and his unique circumstances. And a bunch of other Republicans and their unique circumstances.
