Republican Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama announced Monday that he will not run for reelection in 2022, after serving 42 years in Congress.
“Today I announce that I will not seek a seventh term in the US Senate in 2022,” the 86-year-old Republican said in a statement. “For everything, there is a season.”
Shelby’s announcement follows several other high profile Republican senators who’ve announced plans to not run for reelection in 2020. Sens. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Rob Portman of Ohio have both said they will not run again when their term is up next year. https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/08/politics/richard-shelby-retiring/index.html

Advertising dollars. Profit.”
“Corporations that advertise on Fox News should walk away, and citizens who care about the truth should demand that they do so,” Sullivan advised.”
