MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - State Sen. Hinton Mitchem - a veteran of more than 30 years in the Legislature - said Monday that he will not seek re-election this year.
The Union Grove Democrat says he wants to slow down, do some
traveling, play golf and spend a lot more time with his family.
The 71-year-old served in the Alabama House of Representatives
in 1974-78 and the Senate in 1978-86. He lost a bid for lieutenant
governor in 1986 but returned to the Senate in a special election
in 1987 and has served there since.
Senators elected him Senate president pro-tem, making him the
top-ranking senator, in January 2007, and Mitchem held the post
until February 2009.
Mitchem is married to the former Judy Corley of Cullman. He was
owner of a tractor dealership in Albertville for many years, selling it in 2005.
