DCCC Chairman Israel’s Statement on Congressman Heath Shuler’s Decision Not to Run for Re-election
DCCC Chairman Steve Israel released the following statement about Congressman Heath Shuler’s (NC-11) announcement he will not run for re-election.
“Since his election in 2006, Congressman Health Shuler has been a strong, independent leader for Western North Carolina families. As co-chair of the Blue Dog Coalition, he is a fiscal hawk who has fought to end wasteful spending, reduce the deficit, and balance the federal budget. A champion for small businesses, he has worked to cut taxes and increase investments in rural business development programs.
“On behalf of the DCCC, I thank Congressman Shuler for his distinguished service in the House. We look forward to supporting an independent-minded Democratic candidate who reflects the values of this district and will fight to rebuild the middle class and reignite the American dream.”
