Rep. Todd Lippert, who represents Northfield and District 20B in the State House of Representatives, announced today that he will not seek

Representative Todd Lippert

re-election this fall. 

“I have decided not to run for re-election in 2022,”” Lippert said in a statement.  “I plan to finish out my term, and I’ll work with people in my district to achieve as many wins as possible in the upcoming session.”    

The statement went on to say that, since the last election and the riot at the Nation’s Capital a year ago, Lippert has seen a need for Democrats to better connect with people in rural areas, and he intends to spend more of his time working toward that goal. 

“I have given my professional life to creating healthy, vital, and compassionate rural communities.  I ran for office because I care about rural people and want us to see the needs we share in common across race and geography. 

“I am grateful for my district and my community for allowing me to serve them for these two terms. It has been a joy and an honor.” 

Lippert was elected to the State House of Representatives in 2018. 2022 will be the final year of his second term.
