State Rep. Tracy King, D-Batesville, presents a bill to the House floor during session at the state Capitol on April 18, 2023.
“We served 14 regular sessions and 14 special sessions and no doubt could cruise to another win in 2024 but I’m tired and want to slow down,” the moderate Democrat said in a statement sent to local media in his district. King represents the district where the Uvalde school shooting took place last year and afterward authored a bill to raise the age to buy certain semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21. That bill surprisingly passed a House committee but never received a vote on the floor.
