State senator Margarita Prentice to retire
http://www.rentonreporter.com/news/136705568.html?mid=56The political career of Margarita Prentice – including 20 years as a state senator, will come to an end early next January.
Prentice no longer lives in the 11th Legislative District, now that statewide redistricting has moved her home on Langston Road on West Hill into the neighboring 37th Legislative District.
It was a move of just a block or so, but it took her out of what she herself called the "Prentice bulge" into the 11th District. She has lived in Skyway since 1958 and her daughter and son are nearby.
Already, Prentice had expressed doubts about running again for a sixth term, a reticence she also felt a bit four years ago. But she did run; this time, the decision was taken out of her hands.
