Bacon Is Serious, Has Spine; No Wonder He's Leaving
Bacon, a longtime Nebraska Republican, is leaving after nearly 10 years in Congress as the House GOP faces another retirement loss.
Don Bacon announced he is leaving Congress to return to Omaha, ending his tenure in the House after serving constituents from a serious legislative perspective.
Before joining Congress, Bacon served nearly 30 years as a brigadier general in the Air Force, bringing military discipline and constitutional commitment to legislative work.
Known for his seriousness and spines as a legislator, Bacon remained committed to principles throughout his tenure, embodying traits that made him a worthy member of Congress.
Congress will miss Bacon's legislative experience and principled approach to governance, leaving a void in the chamber as experienced lawmakers depart.
Bacon is one of many members leaving the House, reflecting broader legislative turnover as experienced lawmakers with military backgrounds and serious constitutional commitment exit.
