Rep. Janis Sontany has added her's to the list of Democratic incumbents who won't be collecting their 25 signatures over the coming weeks. Stating that she "never wanted to be a career politician" (and admirable and under-represented quality actually), Sontany leaves a newly redrawn district that has shifted "dramatically" according to Caucus Chairman Mike Turner who understood her decision to spend time with family instead of trying to relearn a largely new district.
Based on the numbers I have less than 30% of the residents of the newly drawn district 53 were in the old 53. So, yeah, in a sense this is a whole new district.
I haven't heard who is running or eying the seat just yet. I'm sure the names will start popping up shortly.
