Rick Perry will not seek re-election as governor of Texas in this upcoming election.

Perry is the longest to serve as govenor of Texas, elected in 2000. He is the successor of former president, George W. Bush.

The govenor may just try for another shot as the president as he said any, “future considerations” will be announced “in due time and I will arrive at that decision appropriately.”

Perry’s departure leads to many question marks about the future leader of Texas as many politicians have waited many years to take a shot at that seat.
