Del. Jim Shuler, a Democrat who has represented Blacksburg for the past 18 years, will retire from the General Assembly at the end of his term.
Originally from Blacksburg, Shuler assumed office in 1994 and will retire at age 67.
“Serving my constituents is what really made my legislative years such a gratifying experience. Your support, comments and words of encouragement will be treasured memories,” he said in a press release from his office.
“Serving in the House has been an honor, a commitment of time and energy that I gladly gave," the release said. "However, time marches on and it is time to pursue other dreams and adventures.”
Neither Shuler nor his assistants could be reached for further comments Thursday evening.
