LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON RETIREMENT ANNOUNCEMENT OF CONGRESSWOMAN KATHY MANNING

Washington, DC – Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries issued the following statement after Congresswoman Kathy Manning announced she would not seek another term in the House of Representatives:

As a Member of Congress, non-profit leader and attorney, Congresswoman Kathy Manning has spent her entire career working to create stronger communities and serve the hardworking people of North Carolina’s Triad. 

Throughout her time in the People’s House, Rep. Manning has worked to expand access to early childhood education, invest in workforce development programs and protect our nation’s most vulnerable. As Vice Ranking Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee and Co-chair of the Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Antisemitism, Kathy has been a champion for the U.S.-Israel relationship and one of our strongest voices fighting against antisemitism and supporting the safety and security of Jewish communities around the world.

I am grateful to Kathy for her service and she will be deeply missed next Congress. On behalf of the House Democratic Caucus, I wish her and her family the best as she begins this next chapter.
