This just in from my colleagues over at CongressDaily:
House Republican sources said this afternoon that Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., has decided to retire, creating yet another open seat for Republicans to defend and setting off a shuffle on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, where Davis is ranking member. Davis' announcement, coupled with the retirement of Rep. Ron Lewis, R-Ky., and Missouri GOP Rep. Kenny Hulshof's decision Tuesday to run for governor, means there are 24 Republicans and 29 House members overall who are either retiring or running for higher office.
