U.S. Rep. Greg Lopez will step aside as the second -shortest-serving member of Congress in Colorado history.

Lopez, a Republican who was sworn into Congress on July 8 , said his congressional stint was an “honor and a pleasure,” if a bit discombobulated.

He rented 14 places on short-term leases to serve as home during his six months of service in Washington, D.C ..

None of his bills made it to the House floor for a vote, but Lopez said he was glad to have a voice in Congress .

“It’s not often you get a chance to serve the people at that level.” Lopez reminisced about the day he was chosen MVP at the congressional flag football game against the Capitol Police.
