Congressman Erik Paulsen (MN-03) released the following statement regarding Rep. John Klines decision to not seek re-election in 2016.\r\n\r\n\tIm disappointed to hear that my friend and colleague, Congressman John Kline, will not be seeking re-election next year. During his time in Congress, John Kline has been a leader on education and defense issues, and a tireless champion for our veterans. Johns tenure in the U.S. House represents one chapter in a lifetime of service to his country, including a 25-year career in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he served two Presidents as a military aide. I want to thank John for his friendship and guidance, and I know I speak for many of my colleagues in saying he will be sorely missed in Congress. \r\n\r\n\tCongressman Paulsen, a champion of small business and advocate of free enterprise, entrepreneurship, and innovation, serves on the House Ways and Means Committee, the bicameral Joint Economic Committee, and is co-chair of the Congressional Medical Technology Caucus.\r\n\r\n\tFor more information on Congressman Paulsens work in Congress visitpaulsen.house.gov.\r\n\r\n\t###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://paulsen.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=22&itemid=1739"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.933005940169096, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
