CNN —Longtime California Rep. Grace Napolitano announced Saturday that she is retiring from Congress at the end of her current term.
Napolitano has made mental health care a priority over her tenure in Washington and serves as a co-chair of the Congressional Mental Health Caucus.
We have made it acceptable for people to talk about their mental health and get treatment,” she said Saturday.
Napolitano is the ninth Democrat and 12th House member so far to announce they won’t run for reelection in 2024.
And she’s not the only California Democrat leaving the chamber at the end of the term.
