Rep. Grace Napolitano, D-El Monte, announced her retirement Saturday at the age of 86.
"This is the only city I have represented for all those years, even before in the state Assembly,'' she said. "That is why it is fitting that I here today announce the end of this term, which is in 2024 I will be retiring from the United States Congress.'' Napolitano ticked off a long list of her accomplishments, including the Gold Line connecting the San Gabriel Valley and East Los Angeles to the rest of the county, and "over 20 highway-rail grade separation projects and 40 grade crossing improvement projects.''
"Thank you all so much for being here and this great honor,'' she said. "My focus has always been representing my district, first; state, second; and nation, third. We still have a year and half more of work to do, and I will give 110% every day fighting for the San Gabriel Valley in the United States Congress. Thank you, all! God bless!''
