Rep. Devin Nunes, the Tulare congressman who stirred controversy as a top Trump ally on the House Intelligence Committee, will retire in coming weeks.
Rep. Devin Nunes, a controversial San Joaquin Valley Republican and ardent supporter of Donald Trump, is leaving Congress by the end of the month to head a social media company created by the former president.Shortly after he sent the note, the Trump Media & Technology Group announced that Nunes, 48, would be its chief executive officer beginning in January.
“The time has come to reopen the internet and allow for the free flow of ideas and expression without censorship,” Nunes said. Nunes represents California’s 22nd District, which is made up of parts of Fresno and Tulare counties. It includes the cities of Clovis, Visalia, Tulare and part of Fresno.Nunes would have faced a tough reelection in the 2022 midterms
A special primary election to fill Nunes’ seat will likely be held in April, with the general election scheduled at the same time as state primaries in June for the new congressional districts. That means candidates who run to fill Nunes’ seat could also find themselves campaigning for another congressional district simultaneously.
In the last election cycle, he pulled in more than $26 million, ranking him fourth in the entire House for money raised directly for a member’s personal campaign account , according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit that tracks money in politics. He reported $11.8 million in cash on hand at the end of September.
