Congressman Kenny Marchant (TX-24) released the following statement announcing that he will not seek re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2020:
“For the last 40 years, I have served my fellow North Texans, starting in local government as the Mayor and as a city council member of Carrollton, then to Austin as a 9-term State Representative, and then on to serving today in Washington, D.C.,” said Marchant. “What a wonderful opportunity it has been to serve them, and I want to thank them for trusting in me.”
Marchant was first elected to Congress in 2004 and has represented the 24th District since January 2005. A senior member of the House Committee on Ways and Means, he also serves as the top Republican on the House Ethics Committee in the 116th Congress.
Marchant will continue to serve the people of North Texas through the remainder of his eighth term, which concludes on January 3, 2021.
