We wanted to share this passage because it's an interesting take on the local political scene.

If this politico can't hack it during the MAGA renaissance, he might not be cut out for politics.
Actually, that's really no personal failing at all and probably the smart move to leave it all behind given that the the GOP hasn't been this dominant since the 80s and already it's clear the Republicans are going to be their own worst enemy moving forward.
Either way, here's the sentiment that deserves consideration . . .
LaTurner is heading for the exits, saying he’d rather spend time with his family than on “ridiculous” intraparty squabbling.
“I’m a very conservative Republican who understands that you can’t get 100 percent of what you want 100 percent of the time, and so that requires that you actually act as a legislator and build coalitions around ideas and get them passed and allow the normal process to work,” he said in an interview earlier this month as he served out his second and final term in the House.
LaTurner isn’t shutting the door on running again one day, when his kids are older. But, for now, he’s hoping Congress, and politics in general, will improve while he’s away. “We’re in a season right now, and it’s a season of being very divided,” he said.
