“John Ratcliffe, the Republican trying to unseat Hall, asserts his issue is not with Hall’s age but his tenure. A former U.S. attorney and small-town mayor, Ratcliffe said he is trying to make a point about citizen legislators and the need for change in Washington.
One of the problems in the country is we do have too many career politicians who stay too long and become part of the problem we’re trying to fix,” said Ratcliffe, who is 48 years old. “These are two-year terms for a reason. I don’t think our founders intended that someone serve 18 of them.”
Ralph will be leaving soon, don’t let it worry you.
