"After more than 30 years in law enforcement serving and protecting my community as a police officer, constable, Fort Bend County Sheriff, an Army veteran, and six years representing this district 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 wrote."
"UNITED STATES MAY 1: Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, arrives to the U.S. Capitol during the last votes of the week on Thursday, May 1, 2025. (Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images) Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) announced on Saturday that he retiring from Congress and will not seek reelection, joining multiple other Republicans ditching the House of Representatives. Nehls said in a statement posted to social media that he made his decision over the Thanksgiving holiday."
"Nehls's announcement comes just days after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), once one of Trump's most vocal supporters in Congress, revealed she'll be leaving office in January. Greene's announcement comes under very different cirumstances from that of Nehls. The president has lashed out at Greene over her repeated criticisms of her own party on healthcare, affordability, the Epstein Files, and more. Nehls has been far more consistent in his support for Trump."
Rep. Troy Nehls, a Republican from Texas and former law enforcement official, will not seek reelection and will leave Congress after this session. Nehls cited over 30 years in law enforcement, service as a police officer, constable, Fort Bend County Sheriff, Army veteran status, and six years in Congress as context for his choice to prioritize family after conversations during the Thanksgiving holiday. Nehls said he called President Trump personally to inform him. His retirement follows other Republican departures, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose circumstances and relationship with the president differ.
