Former WA House Republican leader will not seek re-election
State Rep. J.T. Wilcox, who led the House Republican Caucus for five years, announced Wednesday he will not seek re-election this fall.
“By the end of this term, I will have spent 14 years serving in the Washington State House of Representatives. That’s enough,” Wilcox said in a statement.
Wilcox, of Yelm, was first elected to the House in 2010 and was re-elected six times. He serves the 2nd Legislative District that encompasses parts of Thurston and Pierce counties.
He spent six years as floor leader for his caucus before becoming House minority leader in 2018.
