The fourth Texas Republican to announce his retirement, Rep. Marchant (TX-24) was on the DCCC’s 2020 Retirement Watch List
“The DCCC started this cycle by going on offense, and the reality for vulnerable Washington Republicans of defending their deeply unpopular health care repeal agenda is setting in for Republican incumbents from Kenny Marchant to Will Hurd to Pete Olson.
“Congressman Marchant’s retirement comes just four months after the DCCC responded to the energy on the ground in Texas and opened an office there, placed six senior staffers on the ground, and deployed organizers in key communities across the state to lay the groundwork for victory next year. Clearly that investment is already paying off and Democrats are well positioned to compete and flip more seats in Texas.”
