Six. This Makes Six.
Texas Republican congressman Mac Thornberry just announced that he will be retiring at the end of his term.
That makes six Republican congressmen from Texas not seeking re-election.
Thornberry was elected on Newt Gingrich’s Contract With America and represents the 13th congressional district. He represents the panhandle, an area of Texas that went 80% for Trump.
While his retirement doesn’t come as a major shock, the GOP primary for this seat is going to add more fun to the Trumpathon.
