Republican state Sen. John Watkins has decided not to run for re-election in 2015:
MT "@RTDNolan: State Sen. John Watkins, R-Powhatan retiring at the end of his term in 2015. Senate power struggle likely to ensue #vagov”

There were questions in 2011 as to whether Watkins would seek another term. They persisted throughout recent months and now the GOP has an open seat race on its hands.
The district ought to be comfortable for a Republican. And one name did cross my mind for the seat…our own Scott Lee.
