King has served as Transportation Commissioner since being elected in 2011. Earlier this year, Southern District Transportation Commissioner Tom King, a Republican, told Y’all Politics that he had not decided on whether he would seek re-election in 2023. However, this week, King announced his decision earlier than expected, saying he will not be seeking a fourth term to the Southern District seat he has held since 2012. According to Commissioner King, he will fulfill the remainder of his term and retire effective December 31, 2023. Busby’s campaign kickoff was held in late October and was attended by mayors, city and county leaders, and lawmakers from across the Southern District.
