Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris, R-Collierville, said he will not run for the Eighth District Congressional seat, The Commercial Appeal reports. The seat is being left open by the retirement of Rep. Stephen Fincher, R-Tenn. "I have my own re-election to run and have pulled my petition to run for re-election to the state Senate," Norris said. He is seeking a fifth four-year term. At least eight Republicans have announced they will run for Fincher’s seat, including state Sen. Brian Kelsey, R-Germantown, and former U.S. Attorney David Kustoff.
