HOWARD COBLE'S RETIREMENT ANNOUNCEMENT | 2013-11-07 | 2013 | 2013-11 | Democrat | House | NC | David Price | P000523 | price.house.gov | legacy | Washington, D.C. Representative David Price (D-NC) issued the following statement today after Rep. Howard Coble (R-NC) announced he would retire at the end of the current Congress at a news conference in Greensboro. Howard Coble is one of the best-liked members of the House of Representatives, and that affection extends across the political spectrum. Always ready with a kind word for everyonefrom fellow representatives to capitol police to constituentsit's difficult to walk anywhere with Howard in Washington, D.C. or North Carolina without being stopped several times because he has so many friends who want to chat with him. I have always especially enjoyed introducing my staff to Howard, his first question being what high school they attended, and his second question being, what's it like working for this scallywag?' While we have sometimes disagreed on politics and policy, we have also had fruitful bipartisan collaborations on issues important to North Carolina ranging from textile research to disaster relief. Over the years, I have valued his friendship immensely, and greatly admired his attentiveness to constituents and his dedicated service in the House. Howard reminds us of a time when our politics were less hard-edged. When he retires at the close of the current Congress, I wish him all the best. Our state and the House of Representatives have greatly benefited from his service. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
