WASHINGTON — Rep. Trey Hollingsworth, R-Indiana, announced on his Facebook page that he will not seek re-election.

“You deserve a member of Congress totally and completely focused on the 9th District, and, though I have remained committed to that promise these three terms, now I will fight for you and us in different ways,” Hollingsworth said on social media.

In the statement released Wednesday, Hollingworth, who has supported term limits, said he would limit his service to four terms, and then announced he would not seek a fourth term.
