GOP state Sen. Brian Birdwell says he won’t seek reelection

"GOP state Sen. Brian Birdwell says he won’t seek reelection" was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.

State Sen. Brian Birdwell, a Granbury Republican who’s represented parts of Central and North Texas since 2010, said Monday he did not plan to seek reelection to his seat in the upper chamber.

“It has been the high honor of my life, on par with commanding United States soldiers, to serve my fellow Texans for over 15 years,” Birdwell, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, said in a letter addressed to his district. “As I conclude the mission the Lord has given me over these past 15 years, I do so with a sense of gratitude at all we have accomplished.”
