Five-term Texas Rep. Bill Flores won't run for re-election in 2020, becoming the state's fifth Republican congressman to say he's leaving.
A fifth Texas Republican congressman added his name Wednesday to the list of House GOP retirements in the nation's biggest conservative state.
While Flores' district is considered safe for Republicans, the number of GOP departures has complicated the party's uphill quest to recapture the House majority in the 2020 elections. Flores said he made a commitment when he first ran for Congress that he would serve fewer than six terms. Democrats control the House 235-197, with one independent and two vacancies in North Carolina that are scheduled to be filled in special elections next week.
