Former blue state GOP lawmaker reveals why she's not seeking re-election: 'I have other goals'

Former California Republican Congresswoman Michelle Steel will not be seeking another term in Congress.

The Republican, who lost by just over 600 votes in November to Rep. Derek Tran after serving two terms in the House, said she’s pursuing other political goals.

"I have other goals that, you know what, I’m having so much fun, and I work on President Trump's agenda right now. And I was appointed by Speaker Mike Johnson to that Asian-American coalition, so I want to help Asian-Americans in this country and then plus other Asian countries," the Republican, who sits on the board of directors of the Lincoln Club, said.
