U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), a polarizing conservative figure and primary target of the resistance, announced Wednesday that he won’t run for re-election in 2018.

As chair of the House Oversight Committee, Chaffetz investigated Planned Parenthood as well as former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s role in responding to the 2012 Benghazi attack and use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State.

His doggedness did not appear to apply to the GOP; earlier this year, as the Associated Press reports, he “drew fire from Democrats after saying he would not investigate [President Donald] Trump’s sprawling business empire, given that he had promised before the 2016 election that he would investigate Clinton ‘for years’ if she was elected.”

Indeed, his refusal to hold Trump accountable left him vulnerable during February’s congressional recess, when one town hall meeting saw hundreds of constituents shouting at him, “Do your job!”

Furthermore, noted Randi Spivak, director of the Center for Biological Diversity’s public lands program, “Chaffetz is among the most aggressive members of Congress bent on privatizing and developing some of our country’s most iconic and cherished wildlands, and he has voted against protecting endangered species at every opportunity.”

“Everyone who loves America’s public lands and wildlife will breathe easier once Rep. Chaffetz leaves Congress,” Spivak said.
