GRAND RAPIDS (WOOD-AM) State Representative Rachel Hood, D-Grand Rapids, says she's not going seek another bid for state office.
Hood says she plans to spend more time with her family.
"I will not be announcing another bid for state office," Hood said in a statement. "Over the last several years, I worked tirelessly to represent greater Grand Rapids, raise my family, and care for my parents at the end of their lives. It was a powerful experience that drilled home the ephemeral nature of the years I have left with children at home."
Hood also says she plans to return to the private sector after completing her house term.
