Veteran assemblyman to step down in 2012
GILLIAM, Ansleigha--Rep. Pat Alosha, a veteran Nationalist assemblyman who served from Lial and later from Ansleigha, has announced his retirement.
Alosha, 71, entered the National Assembly in 1978, and will retire at the end of his 17th term.
"I've decided now is the proper time for me to turn the page to the next chapter in my life," said Alosha, who currently represents the electorate of Ambrose in northern Ansleigha.
Alosha's exit leaves a vacancy for the NAT in a battleground district, and presents a rare opportunity for Conservatives to gain a seat in a state that strongly leans blue.
Conservative candidate Bill Haas ran almost even with Alosha in the 2010 election, with Alosha narrowly winning with 51% to Haas' 49%.
Haas already disclosed his intention to run again before Alosha's retirement announcement.
