The news gets worse: Lowe Finney is not running for re-election to the Senate

Senator Lowe Finney (D-Jackson, District 27) sent out an announcement that he is not seeking re-election to his seat, which used to represent Madison, Gibson and Carroll Counties, but now represents Madison, Crockett, Dyer, Lake and Lauderdale Counties.  If this is for a run for higher office, then this may be a good thing.  However, from the tone of this letter to his constituents, it appears as though he is leaving politics, and that is NOT of the good:

Share this:    
Lowe Finney State Senate
Dear Friend,

Today I am making an important announcement, one that I wanted to share with you - one of my friends and strongest supporters - before it’s out in the news media. After much prayer and thoughtful consideration, I have decided not to seek a third term to the state Senate.

I have had no higher honor than representing West Tennessee families in the state legislature. I am proud to have worked to improve health care for senior citizens, cut the sales tax on food and provide great opportunities for young students and veterans to attend college. I thank my wife, Tiffany, for her support all these years.

Although I am leaving the Senate at the end of next year, I will remain your Senator for Dyer, Crockett, Lake, Lauderdale and Madison counties until the November election. I will work even harder in my last session, and I will be available to serve you in any way I can. I remain,
 
Respectfully yours,

A new Video from the Lowe Finney campaign

While Lowe Finney's district is Madison, Carroll and Gibson counties and much of the readership cannot vote in the 27th District, if you know someone who can and will vote there, tell them about him.  It is critical that he be re-elected to his State Senate seat.  We need every Democratic vote we can get in the State Senate to stop Ron Ramsey, the Lt. Governor who would auction off the state if he could get the chance to do so.  Here's the video:
