Rep. Michael McCaul, a Republican from Texas, announced that he will not seek re-election in 2026 after more than two decades in Congress, as reported by Fox News.

McCaul confirmed his decision during an appearance on ABC’s This Week, noting that while he will finish his current term, he is preparing to take on a “new challenge.”

McCaul, who has represented Texas’s 10th Congressional District since 2005, currently serves as chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. He previously chaired the House Committee on Homeland Security.

In a post shared on social media, McCaul described the decision as the end of one chapter of his public service but emphasized his ongoing commitment to national security.

“It has been the honor of a lifetime to represent the people of central Texas and to chair the prestigious Homeland Security and Foreign Affairs Committees,” McCaul wrote.

He pointed to his father’s military service during World War II as a key influence in pursuing his own career.

“My father’s service in World War II inspired me to pursue a life of public service, with a focus on defending our great nation against global threats, and I have been proud to carry out that mission in Congress for more than two decades,” McCaul said.

Looking ahead, McCaul indicated he plans to remain involved in matters of foreign policy and security. “I am ready for a new challenge in 2027 and look forward to continuing to serve my country in the national security and foreign policy realm,” he added.

In an interview on @ThisWeekABC this morning, Rep. Michael McCaul says he won’t seek reelection. He has served Central Texas in Congress for 20 years. During his time in Congress, he chaired both the House Foreign Affairs and Homeland Security committees. https://t.co/29MZc8btB3

First elected in 2004, McCaul has been a consistent voice on issues related to counterterrorism, cybersecurity, and global diplomacy.

His tenure on the Homeland Security and Foreign Affairs Committees has placed him at the center of debates over national defense and America’s role on the international stage.

McCaul’s announcement drew praise from colleagues. Rep. Don Bacon, a Republican from Nebraska, described him as “a great Congressman, a great American and a great friend.”

McCaul’s decision opens a seat in Texas’s 10th District, which includes parts of Austin, Houston, and surrounding areas. The race for his successor is expected to draw significant attention heading into the 2026 election cycle.
