Sen. Denton Darrington, R-Declo, who in his 30th year in the Senate is the longest-serving senator in Idaho history, has announced that he won't seek re-election. "I would like to thank my constituents who have so generously supported me in the State Senate," Darrington said in a news release. "My wife and I have long considered the appropriate time for me to retire from the senate. That time is now."
