Republican Party of Texas Chair Matt Rinaldi, whose term expires in May, announced he will not seek reelection.

“After almost three years serving as Chairman, traveling the state, and spending many long nights on the road, it is time for me to focus on my obligations as a husband to my wife, Corley, and as a father to my six-year-old son, Rush,” he said in a statement on Friday. “They have both been supportive and very patient with me as I worked to create a better future for Texas.”
