It doesn't get much better than this: another Republican retirement in the House — and in a district that the Democratic Congressional Committee has targeted to flip.
Representative Pete Olson from Texas's 22nd district has decided he's had enough. He cites "family issues," which... hmm, makes us think there's another shoe that's going to drop somewhere down the road.
Whatever. Our 2018 Democratic candidate in TX-22, Sri Preston Kulkarni, who raised a ton of money last time and came within five points of victory, says he'll have another go. So it is all good.
In fact, the DCCC is hoping to flip at least a half-dozen seats in Texas alone next year. So our main question now is: How many more House Republicans will announce retirements after the summer recess end? Depends on how much grief they get from their constituents back home, and that will be interesting to see. We cats PURR.
