Rep. Kind is one of just seven House Democrats serving in districts won by fmr. Pres. Trump. His departure only makes it more difficult for Democrats to maintain their majority in the House in next year’s midterm election.
MADISON, Wis. — Democratic U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, who served more than 24 years in a southwestern Wisconsin district that former President Donald Trump carried in 2020, announced Tuesday that he won’t seek reelection next year.
Kind, the longest-serving Democrat in Wisconsin’s delegation, won reelection in 2020 by less than 3 points. Trump carried the sprawling district that borders Minnesota by nearly 5 points. Kind was a top target for Republicans in 2022 as he faced a rematch with Derrick Van Orden. Like fellow moderate Democratic Rep. Cheri Bustos, of Moline, Illinois, Kind represents counties along the Mississippi River that were once reliably Democratic, as small, working-class manufacturing towns shifted toward Trump in 2016. Kind's and Bustos' districts are among seven in the country where voters split their vote in 2020, reelecting the Democratic House member and picking Trump.Kind was first elected in 1996.
