US EditionHouse GOP Budget Chair Jodey Arrington says he won’t seek reelection
- On Tuesday, Rep. Jodey Arrington , chairman of the House Budget Committee, announced in an interview with Fox News and a video by Punchbowl News that he will retire after 2026.
- Citing personal priorities, Arrington intends to spend more time with his family and focus on legislative priorities before leaving next year despite President Donald Trump's glowing endorsement earlier this month.
- Arrington highlighted his role in creating Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act and said, "The president's committed to it, he talks about it all the time," in Arrington's online interview.
- The district's partisan lean suggests Texas's 19th Congressional District is unlikely to flip blue in 2026, but election listings still showed Arrington as a declared candidate for the March 3, 2026 GOP primary.
- As Budget chair, Arrington will still oversee the January continuing resolution and set Trump-aligned cost-cutting levels before the 2026 midterms, finishing a decade in Congress next year.
