Neal Dunn says he’ll serve out term, quashing resignation rumors
Rep. Neal Dunn plans to serve out the rest of his term, a spokesperson said Monday, addressing rumors that the Florida Republican would resign early and potentially put the GOP House majority at risk.
The announcement comes after Speaker Mike Johnson said earlier this month he’d urged Dunn to stay in Congress. Senior House Republicans believed at the time that Dunn, who is facing health issues and announced his retirement in January, could step down in the coming months and further narrow the GOP’s majority.
“As a dedicated public servant, he will remain in Congress to represent his constituents through the end of this term,” spokesperson Eleanor Allison said in response to inquiries first made on Feb. 11.
