Representative Kenny Marchant (R-TX)
"It is time for me to announce that I will not seek another term as Congressman from the 24th District of Texas," Marchant said. "I am looking forward to finishing out my term and then returning to Texas to start a new chapter."
Marchant, 68, was elected to Congress in 2004 and later became a founding member of the House Tea Party Caucus. He previously served in the Texas state House for nine terms.
"I want to thank the constituents of the 24th District of Texas for letting me serve and I look forward to being back in Texas full time," Marchant said.
Marchant is the fourth republican congressman from Texas to announce their retirement. One of our most favorite Congressmen Will Hurd also of Texas has decided to retire. Although IR wishes that Hurd would run for re-election. We can understand his desire to not go down on the bad ship the S.S. Trump next year. Texas is also becoming a lighter shade of red as of late. Last year Beto O’Rourke came within three points of beating Ted Cruz and Democrats made impressive inroads into the Texas state house and elsewhere at the county, local and congressional levels. To illustrate just how much ground the Democrats have gained in Texas. In 2008 Barrack Obama carried the 5 largest metro counties in Texas by 80,000 votes. Beto O’Rourke In 2018 carried them by 800,000. Tarrant County were Fort Worth is, Trump won that county in 2016. By 2018 Beto O’Rourke carried the county.
Our fellow republicans had better wake up and realize that we are losing suburban voters at an increasingly larger rate each election. Especially the problems we face in Arizona, Georgia and Texas is that the suburbs of Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth and Atlanta are now voting more like the suburbs of Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle. At this rate we are looking at a decade or more of decline and stagnation of our Grand Old Party.
Hello! I just wish to offer you a huge thumbs up for
ReplyDeletethe great information you have got right here on this post.
I will be returning to your site for more soon.
The Republicrat party has no one but itself to blame for it's rot and soon demise. I am nearly sixty years of age, and in that time all I have seen is a slow {at least at first} but steady drift to the left in our politics and culture. Republicrats have done nothing to stop this. Illegal immigration will profoundly change this country forever, and it will be the death of the conservative movement. You are seeing the US born children of illegal aliens voting now, and guess what? They aren't voting republicrat. For twenty years the GOP could have done something about it, but instead like the good little whore that's leaders are, they followed the orders of their owners {Fortune 500 corporate executives} and looked the other way, or even tried their best to get amnesty for them, like their demigod did, the pseudo-conservative Ronald Reagan. Now the Republicrat party is in such dire straits that it is adopting progressive agendas in a pathetic effort to stay relevant. Too little, too late. Who needs republicrats when they can vote for the real thing? Besides, politicians of all stripes are obsolete today anyway, RINO Holcomb even admitted that fact when they passed the progressive agenda under the guise of "Hate Crime" legislation. Tp paraphrase him, he said:"We must pass this legislation, else corporations will seek opportunities elsewhere". What a sellout to conservative principals that all are equal under the law. I am disgusted by today's republicrat party, and will have nothing more to do with it's dead and rotting carcass. True conservatives, and decent men of honor aren't allowed to serve in politics today. Just ask Roy Moore if you think I'm wrong.
