Conservative U.S. Representative Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin announced in February that he would be leaving Congress at the end of the year. However, he recently moved up his departure to mid-April, citing the unpleasant atmosphere in the House. Gallagher revealed that he had received death threats and experienced late-night swatting, which made it difficult for his young family. He is one of 23 House Republicans who have decided to leave before their term is up, signaling frustration with the way the House has been operating. Gallagher delayed his resignation by one day to help pass legislation to aid Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan and prevent the ouster of Speaker Mike Johnson. His decision reflects his commitment to getting things done and his concern for the substance of government. [3375e03d]
