Elected Republican Conference secretary, the sixth-ranking GOP leadership position in the House, in 2003 and 2005, Doolittle announced in January that he will not be seeking a 10th term. He and his wife, Julie, are under federal investigation related, in part, to employment provided for her by lobbyists, including the disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Kingston, who was vice chairman of the Republican Conference from 2003 to 2006, has not announced any plan to retire.
