Republican Anne Henley is seeking to represent Fort Worth in the U.S. Congress.

Henley, a retiree, filed to run for the GOP nomination for Texas’ 12th Congressional District, according to the Texas Secretary of State’s office.

The seat is open after Granger, a Fort Worth Republican, decided to retire from Congress after nearly three decades.

Henley’s campaign does not have a website nor social media.

Henley faces state Rep. Craig Goldman, banker John O’Shea and electrical engineer Shellie Gardner in the GOP primary.
