Rep. Jim Solis to Retire

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

Democratic Rep. Jim Solis of San Benito has announced his plans to retire from the Texas House (HD38) according to Quorum Report. Elected back in 1992, Solis has headed up a number of important committees and issues in the lege, listed in his press release (pdf). He does say that he won't rule out running for other public offices in the future and will continue to stay involved in politics.

His district is 63-37 Dem/Rep, though he won his past election with 68% of the vote, and even Marty Akins managed 53% against Carol in 2002, which was the low point for any candidate then.
