Rep. Brad Wenstrup, an Ohio podiatric surgeon representing what is considered a safe Republican Cincinnati-area seat in Congress, announced late Thursday that he will retire at the end of this term.
Wenstrup, 65, who was first elected in 2012, joins Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Wash., and Sen. Joe Manchin III, D-W.Va.., in announcing plans to retire from Congress on Thursday.
In a nearly three-and-a-half-minute video, Wenstrup, the chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, vowed to “run through the tape” before he leaves Congress, working to “help reveal the facts about the origins of COVID.”
