“Whatever skills I may have are better utilized in a courtroom then in Congress,” he wrote, “and I enjoy our justice system more than our political system.”

Gowdy, Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is the ninth GOP committee chairman to announce retirement this year.

Here is his full statement:

UN Ambassador Nikki Haley tweeted a thank you to Gowdy for his contributions and friendship.
