U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans announced Monday that he will not seek re-election to Congress, capping the end of a 45-year career in elected office and setting up a potentially heated primary to represent the Philadelphia seat in Congress.
Evans, 71, who suffered a stroke last year, said he is fully capable of serving the next year, but made the decision not to run again.
“Serving the people of Philadelphia has been the honor of my life,” Evans said in a statement. “And I remain in good health and fully capable of continuing to serve. After some discussions this weekend and thoughtful reflection, I have decided that the time is right to announce that I will not be seeking re-election in 2026.”
