Turner filed a “Statement of Candidacy” with the Federal Election Commission on Monday.

TRENDING STORIES:

The form includes the designation of a principal campaign committee and other authorized committees.

As News Center 7 previously reported, the 12-term congressman lost to Democrat Kristina Knickerbocker for the 10th Congressional District.

Right after the race was called on last Thursday, News Center 7 got a statement from Congressman Turner, who wished Knickerbocker “every success.” He also encouraged “everyone to come together in support of the work ahead” for the community.

News Center 7 has reached out to Turner’s office for a comment on this week’s filing and his plans for 2028. We have not received a response at this time.
