WASHINGTON — Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., who announced last month he would not run for re-election, will resign from Congress early, he confirmed in a statement Friday.
Two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News of Gallagher's plan to resign early Friday.
The Wisconsin Republican then released a statement announcing that he will depart April 19.
Johnson, in a post on X, praised Gallagher's "extraordinary work in the House" and for "courageously exposing the threat Beijing poses to the U.S.".
A source close to Gallagher said the decision to leave was in the works and not related to anything happening in House lately.
He is one of several top Republican chairmen who are not running for re-election in November following a tumultuous House session.
Unlike Gallagher and Buck, Granger said she will serve out her House term, which ends in January. »
