Mike Moncrief announced today that he won’t seek re-election to a fifth term as mayor of Fort Worth, according to the Star-Telegram.
Possible candidates to replace Moncrief include former councilmembers Cathy Hirt and Jim Lane, as well as Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector Betsy Price, according to the Star-Telegram.
Moncrief, of course, has led Fort Worth through the aftermath of the 2009 Rainbow Lounge raid.
The filing period for Fort Worth elections begins Monday.

Mayor Mike gutted the zoning regulations to allow gas wells in Fort Worth neighborhoods, his mission has been accomplished! NO doubt Fort Worth’s Big Oil & Gas will fund a candidate to take his place.
