Rep. Cárdenas Announces Retirement from Congress
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Tony Cárdenas (CA-29) made the following statement:
“Today, I’m announcing I won’t seek reelection to the U.S. House of Representatives, and I will retire at the end of 2024 when this term concludes.
“It’s been my honor to humbly serve my community - the incredible people of the Northeast San Fernando Valley – during my 28 years of public service. I am grateful for the community’s trust and support to represent them in the California State Legislature, on the Los Angeles City Council, and the last 11 years as the Congressman of the 29th District.
“From an early age, my Mexican parents, Andrés and María Cárdenas, taught me and my ten brothers and sisters some simple yet profound values such as “there is no greater joy than to serve others”. This is a value my staff and I are blessed to uphold as we serve our constituents with their issues and needs.
“I believe in the next generation of leaders; I am confident that they will break through the extreme partisanship that has impeded progress and get back to delivering for hardworking Americans. The future for the Northeast San Fernando Valley, our state and our country will be in good hands.”
