Texas Rep. Kevin Brady, top Republican on powerful Ways and Means committee, to retire from Congress
Fox News
After nearly a quarter century in Congress, Republican Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas is retiring.
Brady, who was first elected to the House in 1996, represents Texas' 8th Congressional District, which includes a large swath of suburban and rural territory north of Houston. The announcement by the congressman – who helped write key portions of the 2017 tax cut law, the signature domestic achievement of then-President Donald Trump's four year tenure in the White House – was expected as he was facing term limits in his Ways and Means Committee leadership role. "I am retiring as your Congressman. This term, my 13th, will be my last," he said in his remarks, Brady said in a statement he later tweeted out. "I set out originally to give my constituents the representation you deserve, the effectiveness you want and the economic freedom you need. I hope I delivered."
