GOP Rep. Bill Flores has announced his plans to retire from Congress at the end of his term, becoming the fifth Texas Republican to do so this election cycle.
Flores won his first election in 2010 by defeating a Democrat during President Barack Obama's first midterm election and rose to become a chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee.One Republican's quest to stave off joining the 'Texodus'While Flores' district between Dallas and Austin is now reliably Republican, Democrats have centered their efforts to expand their House majority by picking up several other seats in the suburbs of the Lone Star state.
In his retirement, Flores joins other high-profile GOP House members from the state including the ranking member of the House Agriculture Committee Mike Conaway and Will Hurd, the only black House Republican. Flores also marks at least a dozen GOP House lawmakers who've publicly announced plans not to seek reelection to their seats.
