Luis Gutierrez to Announce He Won't Seek Reelection: Sources
NBC Chicago ^ | 11/27/17 | Mary Ann Ahern

Posted on 11/27/2017 6:27:40 PM PST by Libloather

NBC 5 has learned Congressman Luis Gutierrez will announce Tuesday he is not running for re-election after 24 years on Capitol Hill, sources say. Guitterez telephoned key democratic leaders late this afternoon to let them know of his plans. Calls to Guitterez tonight have not been returned.

Already printing petitions Monday night-- to begin the process of getting signatures before next Monday's deadline -- is Cook County Commissioner Jesus Chuy Garcia. Ald. Carlos Ramirez Rosa is considering a congressional race. This will also leave an opening on the county board should Garcia opt for Guitterez's seat.

I knew little Luis in Chicago. He was a punk gangbanger in the Humboldt Park Latin Kings.

Gutierrez is 63 years old with a lifetime seat and he’s quitting? Wonder what’s in his closet?

Laura Ingraham just led with this to start her show. She clearly knows how much the right despises this POS.

Aren't non-Hispanics allowed to run for this seat?

There’s no point for a non-Hispanic to run. It’s one of the most heavily gerrymandered districts in the entire country, take a look at the picture if you dare: Luis’ District

The Democrats who run Illinois cleaved together a Mexican majority area with a Puerto Rican majority area located in different sections of Chicago to create a district only an Hispanic can win.

Of course you have all the liberal watchdog groups that have filed suit over every district that republican legislatures created also challenging this monstrosity, right?

Wooo Hooo! He’s running for the hills, for some reason, undoubtedly.

The question is will he be wearing a boot?

The Swamp is starting to get drained with extreme prejudice.

If you mean to hide a tracking device, then no, probably not. He's part of the protected class. Not only a minority, but a Congressman, first and foremost. They only put tracking devices on ordinary citizens.

Is that a guess or have you heard something suggesting he’s got hidden “issues”?

It is a guess. Speculation.

The sound you hear is the draining of the swamp. In this case, it mimics a flushing toilet.
