Democratic Representative Marc Veasey has officially announced his decision to forgo his reelection bid for Congress, opting instead to file for the position of Tarrant County judge. This shift comes as he prepares for the midterms while navigating the Texas redistricting landscape. Veasey had been contemplating a potential run in a congressional district if the current GOP map remained in place, but he ultimately decided to focus on the local level with his campaign for Tarrant County judge, marking the end of his pursuit for an eighth term in Congress.
