SENATOR BURTON JOINS TARRANT COUNTY CONSERVATIVES IN CALLING ON BARTON TO STEP DOWN
Burton says we must not waste any more time
COLLEYVILLE, TX – Wednesday afternoon Senator Konni Burton joined other Tarrant County GOP leaders in making it clear that Congressman Joe Barton should not seek re-election. She also made it clear she wanted to ensure Barton was succeeded by a conservative:
“We must hold public officials to a high standard and recent publicized incidents demonstrate those standards were not met. With only weeks left for primary filing, I am asking Joe Barton not to seek re-election so that Tarrant County can move forward in making sure we send a strong conservative to Congress from District 6. Many have discussed Tarrant County Tax Assessor Collector Ron Wright stepping up to run for this position in the event Congressman Barton does not seek reelection. Ron is a man of great character and integrity and I want to make it clear that I am one hundred percent behind him if he decides to do so.”
