He is leaving after six.
In the interview with the Star, Hollingsworth said, “I ran for Congress to return this government to the people from the career politicians who had broken it, and I will be damned if I become one in the process,” he wrote. “I hope Hoosiers will replace their Congressman with someone with a similar attitude.”
Hollingsworth has been named as a likely candidate for Governor in 2024.
