After much reflection I have decided not to seek re-election to another term for the office of State Representative. It has been an honor and privilege to represent the citizens of House District 80 and I will forever be grateful to the men and women that supported us through the years. Special thanks go to my wife, Cheryl, and our children who were not born when we won the first election in 1994. We have been blessed with the very best staff in the Capitol and the District. Celina Overbo, Chief of Staff, has worked with our office the entire time. Sam Bacarisse and Lupita Zepeda have been a crucial part of the team over the last decade. Countless other staff members and interns have passed through the office in the last 27 years and we are grateful to them all.
We were able to accomplish many beneficial things for the District and the thousands of constituents that sought our assistance over the years. We served 14 regular sessions and 14 special sessions (so far) and no doubt could cruise to another win in 2024 but I’m tired and want to slow down.
Thank you so much and may God continue to bless Texas.
Respectfully,
Tracy O. King
