WASHINGTON:
Republican US Representative Troy Nehls announced yesterday that he would not seek reelection for another term in Congress.
“I have made the decision, after conversations with my beautiful bride and my girls over the Thanksgiving holiday, to focus on my family and return home after this Congress,” Nehls said in a statement.
Nehls, 57, who represents a Texas district in the House of Representatives, said he spoke to President Donald Trump before making the decision. Nehls was first elected in 2020.
In a separate Facebook post, the lawmaker endorsed his twin brother, Trever Nehls, to succeed him in Congress.
“After my call with President Trump, I am confident Trever will earn President Trump‘s endorsement,” he said.
