Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price Won't Seek Sixth Term

[#TexasPolitics365]


Fort Worth 5-term Mayor Betsy Price announced yesterday she will not seek a sixth term after a decade in the office, reports the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Price made the announcement that she wouldn’t run for an unprecedented sixth term Tuesday at City Hall. 

The announcement is likely to create the most contested race for mayor since she ran in 2011. Campaign filing opens Jan. 13. Five candidates are reportedly going to vie for the position.

The ten-year tenure of Price, 71, makes her the longest serving mayor in Fort Worth history.
