Two more Republicans announced this week that they're not planning to run again for their seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Representatives Charlie Dent, of Pennsylvania, and Dave Reichert, of Washington, released statements saying they were not running for reelection, bringing to 13 the total number of GOP dropouts in the chamber since January, according to The Washington Post.

Jeb Hensarling won't seek re-election
(CNN)Texas Republican Rep. Jeb Hensarling, the powerful chairman of the House financial services committee, announced Tuesday that he will not seek re-election in 2018.
Hensarling, who represents Dallas, hails from a Republican-heavy district. His departure may not open an opportunity for Democrats, but it does represent another prominent GOP member of Congress who has chosen to call it quits during the tumultuous early days of the Trump administration.
Hensarling, a conservative and former chairman of the Republican Study Committee, is also a key conduit between the GOP caucus and the White House through his close relationship with Vice President Mike Pence. He is at least the 21st Republican member of the House of Representatives to pass on a re-election bid since President Donald Trump has taken office.
