One House member who spent a long spell as a congressional staffer is set to depart Capitol Hill, while a first-term lawmaker who previously served as a top aide to Sen. Ted Cruz is gaining national attention in his own right.

Rep. Rob Woodall will retire from the House after 2020, capping 10 years in office for the Georgia Republican. Prior to his election, he worked as press secretary and adviser for his Atlanta-area predecessor, then-Rep. John Linder.
