Democrat Luis Gutierrez is leaving Congress. The representative from Illinois announced that he will not run for re-election. No one is quire sure why the sudden departure came about. There is speculation that he may have a problem like John Conyers and Al Franken, but that is all it is: just speculation.
Gutierrez has been a generally disagreeable congressman who spends more time denouncing people on networks like MSNBC than on actually accomplishing anything. All I can say is "good riddance".
It is worth noting that I have yet to see an article discussing how this departure is an indicator of the declining prospects for the Democrats in 2018. Whenever a Republican congressman retires, we always get such articles. It's a staple of the media narrative.
