Rep. Troy Nehls, a Texas Republican and former sheriff, said Saturday that he would not seek a fourth term in Congress, a move that sets the stage for another Nehls in Congress.
Shortly after Troy Nehls announced on X his decision not to run, his identical twin brother Trever said he would seek his brother’s seat in Congress.
“I’m honored to announce my candidacy for Congressional District 22 to continue fighting for the people of this district,” said Trever Nehls in a post on Facebook. “District 22 needs a Representative who will follow in Troy’s footsteps and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with President Trump to defend our conservative values, secure the border, protect our families, and oppose the reckless and radical agenda that Democrats continue to press upon the American people. I’m ready to take up that fight.”
