Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Texas, announced on Monday that he will not seek re-election to Congress and will instead run for Tarrant County judge.<\/p>\n

“I’m running because this county deserves a leader who will unite our communities, protect our democracy, expand economic opportunity, and fight for every family,” the lawmaker said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Veasey has served in the U.S. House of Representatives<\/a> since 2013.<\/p>\n

He represents the Lone Star State’s 33rd Congressional District, which has been redrawn in the state’s new congressional maps.<\/p>\n

Veasey is challenging incumbent Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Congressman Veasey brings a consistently liberal Washington record of being soft on crime, weak on border security, and supportive of higher taxes,” O’Hare campaign spokesperson Nick Maddux said in part of a statement.<\/p>\n

Veasey said in part of his statement, “Tarrant County is at a crossroads. I’ve seen firsthand how racially gerrymandered maps were designed to weaken the power of Black and Latino voters in North Texas \u2014 communities I have spent my entire career fighting for. The people here deserve leadership grounded in truth, service, and respect \u2014 not division, extremism, and political stunts. I refuse to sit on the sidelines while County Judge Tim O’Hare drags this community backward.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former Rep. Colin Allred, a Democrat, dropped his U.S. Senate bid and announced<\/a> that he will instead run for the House seat in the “newly drawn” 33rd Congressional District.<\/p>\n
