WASHINGTON, Nov 29 (Reuters) – U.S. Representative Troy Nehls announced on Saturday that he would not seek re-election at the end of the current congressional term.

“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 said in a statement.

Nehls, a Texas Republican, said he spoke to President Donald Trump before making the decision.
