Johnson, who is 85 years old, has represented Texas’ 30th congressional district since 1993. The Dallas Morning news noted in their report that she told a crowd of 600 in Dallas that she will recommend another candidate to fill her shoes. She announced Wednesday that Texas state House Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D) has her endorsement.

“I’ve worked hard. It’s not just a title — it’s a job,” Johnson reportedly said in her announcement.

“It’s been some rugged times, but I have not acknowledged it. I was determined that I wouldn’t just be a title. I wanted to deliver. I thought about the district and all the needs that it had,” she continued. “I will retire and I will recommend to you who is the best to follow me.”

To conclude her remarks, Johnson noted that “nothing has been more heartwarming than the overwhelming support for me to run one more term.”

Johnson is the latest in a slew of House Democrats to announce they will not be seeking reelection next year. Last week, California Democrat Rep. Jackie Speier announced her retirement. Others who are not seeking reelection include Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ) and Rep. Mike Doyle (D-PA).
