Jodey Arrington, who has served Lubbock and wide swath of West Texas in the House of Representatives since 2017, will not seek re-election in 2026, according to a Fox News Digital report.
“I have a firm conviction, much like our founders did, that public service is a lifetime commitment, but public office is and should be a temporary stint in stewardship, not a career,” Arrington told Fox.
The Republican felt he was leaving on a high note, having played a key role in crafting President Donald Trump’s big, beautiful bill, Fox reported.
Arrington said he had not given much thought as to what’s next, but wants to spend more time with his family, according to the report.
