From The Morning Call:

Putting a cap on three decades in public life, state House Speaker Keith McCall, D-Carbon, said Tuesday he will not run for re-election this fall.

In a statement, McCall, 50, said he opted against seeking a 15th term representing the 122nd District because he wants to put his family ahead of the day-to-day grind of the Legislature.

”I first came to Harrisburg as a single 22-year-old man following in my father’s footsteps,” he said. ”Now I have a wonderful wife and two amazing children — all of whom I owe not only my thanks, but also a lot of missed dinners, football and baseball games, volleyball games and help with homework.”

McCall and his wife, Betty, have two children, a girl, Courtney, 11, and son, Keith Robert, 9. They live in Summit Hill.
