US Rep. Mike Conaway Announces Retirement At The End of His Term In 2020
In a Midland office building, surrounded by greenery and statues of a giraffe and an elephant, U.S. Rep. Conaway, R-Midland, told a crowd of constituents, staffers and reporters that he was stepping away from politics—joining a number of GOP lawmakers that have announced they won’t be seeking reelection next year.
“This chapter in our lives has been more fulfilling that I could ever imagine,” said Conaway, who was joined by his wife Suzanne. “But all things come to an end and my eighth term in congress will be my endpoint. “
Conaway said he’s thought about the decision over the last year. Part of his reason to retire is he’s term-limited from continuing his leadership role on the Agriculture Committee and didn’t see other leadership opportunities in the near future, so he opted to step away from politics.
“One of the things I’ve told folks all along — when I’m no longer in a leadership position, I’m coming home,” said Conaway.
