U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei, Nevada’s lone Republican in Congress, announced his retirement Friday morning on his X social media account.
“I came to Congress to solve problems and to make sure our State and Nation have strong voice in the federal policy and oversight processes,” the 67-year-old Amodei said in the post. “I look forward to finishing my term.
“After 15 years of service, I believe it is the right time for Nevada and myself to pass the torch.”
Amodei has represented Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District in Congress since 2011. He is a member of the House Natural Resources Committee, the House Appropriations Committee and is chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee.
Prior to his time in the House, Amodei served in the Nevada Assembly from 1996 to 1998 and in the Nevada State Senate, representing the Capital District, from 1998 to 2010, according to a biography on his congressional website.
He served as Chairman of the Nevada Republican Party until May 2011.
