Texas Republican Pat Fallon is expected to depart the House to seek his previous seat in the Texas Senate. Fallon, who has not yet officially announced his departure, is just under a year into his second term in Congress.
The move comes on the same day that Rep. Michael C. Burgess, a fellow Texas Republican from the Dallas area, announced his retirement.
The Texas Tribune was first to report news of Fallon’s expected departure.The Texas outlet reported that Fallon filed to be a candidate for Texas State Senate District 30, a seat that opened after its incumbent, Republican Drew Springer, announced he would not run again.
