Ohio Rep. Pat Tiberi announced Thursday he will not seek re-election and will be leaving Congress before the 2018 midterms.

“While I have not yet determined a final resignation date, I will be leaving Congress by January 31, 2018,” the Republican said in a statement.

The New York Times first reported Wednesday night Tiberi was resigning to lead the Ohio Business Roundtable.

“I have been presented with an opportunity to lead the Ohio Business Roundtable that will allow me to continue to work on public policy issues impacting Ohioans while also spending more time with my family,” Tiberi said in his statement.

The nine-term Republican is a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and chairman of the Joint Economic Committee. Tiberi also chairs the newly formed Main Street Caucus, a group of more than 70 members who describe themselves as representing “the governing wing of the Republican Party.”
