Republican Congressional Retirements Already Cranking Up Before 2020

Rep. Rob Woodall, 48, a five-termer from the Georgia 7th District (suburbs of Atlanta), has announced he won't be running for reelection in 2020.

Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux came within 433 votes of beating him last November, the closest House race in the nation.

Woodall came into the House in the 2010 Tea Party wave, and we might say he's leaving just ahead of the 2020 Blue Wave.

It looks like Carolyn Bourdeaux has every intention of running for the seat again. She'll have the advantage.
