Ratliff to Announce Re-Election Plans Tomorrow

By Byron LaMasters

Via Quorum Report:

On Thursday, November 20, 2003, State Senator Bill Ratliff (R-Mt. Pleasant) will hold the following press conferences to formally announce his future plans for public office.

Senator Ratliff will be unavailable for public comment prior to the press conferences. He specifically requests that members of the State Senate District 1 and State Capitol press honor this request.


As much as I'd like to see another Democrat in the Texas Senate (a possibility if Ratliff retires), Ratliff is a lone voice of moderation in the Republican Senate Caucus. It would be a shame for him to go.

It is a sad day indeed for all Texas citizens to learn of the resignation plans of Senator BILL RATLIFF, a man of integrity, whose service in office reflected his constituents and a respect for the democratic process. He is a member of an endangered species!
