Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., announced she will not seek re-election this fall, ending her tenure in Congress that began in 2011.

Wilson, 83, is a former teacher and principal who has represented Florida's 24th Congressional District. She has become known in Congress for her distinctive fashion choices, including colorful outfits and matching hats.

The announcement comes after Wilson had previously denied rumors about her potential retirement from Congress. She has been a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump during her time in office.

Wilson's decision adds to the list of House members who will not be seeking re-election in 2024. Her Florida district is considered a safe Democratic seat.

The congresswoman has not immediately provided detailed reasons for her retirement decision or announced specific post-congressional plans. Her departure will trigger a Democratic primary race to determine who will seek to succeed her in the reliably blue district.
