Longtime Republican lawmakers announce retirements
The Associated Press//March 5, 2019//
(AP) Two longtime Republican state lawmakers have announced their retirement.
Del. Steve Landes and Sen. Bill Carrico both announced March 5 they were not planning to seek re-election later this year.
Both represent heavily Republican districts. Carrico represents the state’s far southwest, while Landes’ district stretches from Charlottesville to the West Virginia border.
Carrico is a former state trooper and House delegate. Landes is chairman of the House Education Committee and plays a key role in budget matters. Landes announced a bid to be clerk of court in Augusta County, a job that would significantly boost his state pension.
Carrico and Landes join several other lawmakers who have announced retirement. All 140 legislative seats are up for election this year.
