AAS 10/16/09 Shapleigh will not seek re-election By Mike Ward | Friday, October 16, 2009, 11:09 AM State Sen. Eliot Shapleigh, an outspoken El Paso Democrat who championed health care, education and border programs as a constant legislative voice for average working Texans, is set to announce later today he will not seek re-election. According to a statement just released from his office, Shapleigh — who has held the District 29 seat since 1997 — will announce his decision at a noon press conference in El Paso. "In our family, public service is the highest calling. While other public service may lie ahead, I will not run for the Texas Senate in 2010," Shapleigh said in the brief statement.  I'm stunned. I really, really like Shapleigh. Sonia |
