Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander announced Monday he will not run for re-election in 2020, saying it’s time for “someone else” to have the privilege of representing Tennessee in the Senate.
“I will not be a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate in 2020,” the 78-year-old Alexander said in a statement.
Alexander, the chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, previously served as governor of Tennessee. He also worked as secretary of the Department of Education under then-President George H.W. Bush.
“The people of Tennessee have been very generous, electing me to serve more combined years as governor and senator than anyone else from our state,” he said. “I am deeply grateful, but now it is time for someone else to have that privilege.”

This is insane........he said he will not run for re-election. He was ok, Now it is time for them to elect someone to carry on the conservative agenda
Hatch was replaced by the well-known border hawk Mitt Romney, Heller by Jacky Rosen, and Flake by the staunch security-minded Kyrsten Sinema. I hope that is not the sort of “success” you want to continue with replacing current Senators.
