Fuck! John Turner (TX House 114) Not Seeking Reelection

[tantric superman 4667]

Goddamn just threw the Republicans out of the Rep seat (and state Senate Seat - Nathan Johnson) in 2018.

Need to hold the line.

There was a rumor a while back that he was considering a run at a bigger office.

In a statement, Turner said he decided to retire after concluding that another election cycle and legislative session would not be "compatible with the time I need to devote at this stage in life to being a father and husband."

 

Well that doesn't sound like that.

We have no idea what the new HD-114 will look like after redistricting. 

Reminder this was an R+15 -> D+11.2 seat from 2016 to 2018 and Turner still held by 7.2 with Trump on the ballot in a presidential year.  Those Dallas burbs aren't going to go back to red.
