U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls won’t seek reelection, becoming sixth Texas Republican to announce exit from Congress

[Guno צְבִי]

The Richmond Republican, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, made the announcement with days left before the deadline for candidates to file for the 2026 primaries.

Nehls joins a list of five other Republicans from Texas who had already announced they won’t seek reelection in 2026. Two — U.S. Reps. Wesley Hunt of Houston and Chip Roy of Austin — are seeking other offices, while the other three — U.S. Reps. Jodey Arrington of Lubbock, Morgan Luttrell of Magnolia and Michael McCaul of Austin — have yet to announce future plans.

Sixteen democrats are also not seeking re-election to the House....so far.

You have no proof.

It is nice to know the Dems lead Pubs by quite a margin for confidence.

Is it redistricting or another reason?

Five months ago. The gap is very narrow now, and confidence is in the Dems. Search the polls, all of them.

Interesting, he's stepping down so his brother can run and almost ensured his victory as there are only days to file for the primary...

In any primary, sure.
