With just two weeks remaining in the filing period for the primary election next March, there is now only one declared candidate for Kacal’s seat.
Republican Trey Wharton of Huntsville says the decision of incumbent Kyle Kacal to not seek re-election is not going to change his plans of continuing to visit all four counties.
Wharton has operated an insurance agency in Huntsville for 32 years and is starting his ninth year on the Huntsville ISD school board.
Wharton says yesterday’s announcement that Kacal was retiring, followed by an endorsement from the governor,
were unexpected.
