I thought he was leaving office immediately.
He served three terms. A lot of Good Will now wasted. What a pity that he was so careless and greedy for personal drama.
Isn’t he the one, who was cheating with a married woman who set herself on fire?

If yes, the sooner he’s political history, the better for all concerned. There is no coming back or ‘re-inventing one’s self’ if you’re the cause of such tragedy. How does he think his own wife feels, knowing that everyone is aware that she didn’t really have a marriage at all. She probably wants him to move out.

His press release said he was staying through his term. Good.

He surely got too comfortable. But staying on is a good thing with how close the House is. I’m worried Eyepatch McCain will stop showing up, or worse throw in with dems just to vent his anger. Texas is cleaning house though. Other states need to follow suit.

Yeah, Tony saw the writing on the wall and realized he was toast. Too bad he didn't do this before the primary.

That District 23 seat won’t be a cakewalk for Brandon Herrera. He could win, but there are many thousand activist Democrats who will vote also, and they believe “the blue wave” is at last here.

Is he the one whose lover killed herself?
