The One Issue a House Republican Is Threatening to Resign Over

The House of Representatives has been thrown into chaos following GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida and a small group of other Republicans joining Democrats in voting to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy from his speakership post. The drama is the latest example of the dysfunction Americans see when they look at Washington and helps explain why they have ranked toenail fungus and cockroaches more favorably than Congress in the past. 

But that’s not what has one Republican lawmaker from Indiana threatening to resign. 

As a mother of two girls, Rep. Victoria Spartz is sacrificing a considerable amount of her time being away from them. And she’s reaching a point where that sacrifice may not be worth it anymore, since she “cannot save this Republic alone.”

“I’ve done many very difficult things being one woman standing many times with many very long hours and personal sacrifices, but there is a limitation to human capacity,” Spartz said in a statement posted on Monday. 

The issue she’s laser focused on is the $33 trillion national debt. 

“If Congress does not pass a debt commission this year to move the needle on the crushing national debt and inflation, at least at the next debt ceiling increase at the end of 2024, I will not continue sacrificing my children for this circus with a complete absence of leadership, vision, and spine,” she explained. 

From Day One in office, Spartz made comments indicating she had no desire to serve in Washington for long and already announced she won't seek a third term in 2024. Her latest statement suggests, however, that she may leave sooner than expected.
