Morgan Luttrell Says Goodbye to Congress

Rep. Morgan Luttrell (R) has announced that he will not seek a third term in Congress.

The Texas Republican, first elected to the House in 2023, announced this week that he will not embark on a re-election bid.

In a statement, Rep. Luttrell shared that he is satisfied with the work he's accomplished in Congress, but the recent floods caused a shift in perspective.

"When I first ran for Congress, my mission was clear: strengthen our border, stand up for our veterans, and be a strong voice for Texas," he shared. "I'm proud of the real progress we've made - putting more eyes and resources on the border, reducing illegal crossings, expanding access to care for our veterans, and making a meaningful difference in the lives of Texans."

"But over the July 4th weekend, standing in floodwaters alongside my neighbors, I had a moment of clarity," he noted. "It reminded me that while the work in Washington is important, my family, my community, and my state need me here - closer to home."

Rep. Luttrell said that he is not stepping down from service, and he's "certainly not walking away from the fight," but he's choosing to be of service in a different capacity. "I'm choosing a different path - one that allows me to stay rooted in Texas and focus on the people and places that matter most."

His announcement came with widespread support from his followers and Congressional colleagues.

New York Rep. Mike Lawler (R) called him "a patriot, a hero, and a great American," and his social media followers agreed, noting that his successor should be "honest" like him.

Other social media followers called on the Texas Republican to make one final act as a member of Congress, urging him to sign on to the discharge petition to force the House to vote on a bill to release the Epstein files.

Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie (R) announced this week that the effort has 217 of the necessary 218 votes.

So far, only 4 Republicans have signed the petition. Namely, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace, and Rep. Massie himself.
