Who is my U.S. representative in TX-19?
Your current U.S. Representative for Texas's 19th Congressional District is Jodey Arrington, a Republican. He's represented the district (Lubbock, Abilene, and the surrounding upper Midwestern Texas region) since 1985 when Republicans first held the seat, and he is the current representative, having served since January 3, 2017. Wikipedia GovTrack.us A couple of notes worth flagging: Redistricting is in flux. Texas passed a new congressional map in 2025 that was signed into law by Governor Abbott in August 2025, with new boundaries set to take effect for the 2026 elections. That map was briefly blocked by a federal court but the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on December 4, 2025 that the new map could be used for the 2026 elections. So the exact boundaries of TX-19 could shift somewhat depending on final map litigation, though Arrington remains the incumbent either way. Ballotpedia Ballotpedia If you want to confirm you're actually in TX-19 (rather than a neighboring district), it's worth double-checking your address on a district locator like GovTrack's map tool, since district lines are being redrawn.

Correctly identifies Jodey Arrington as the TX-19 representative, but includes fabricated/erroneous details: he took office in 2017 not 1985, and TX-19 is in West Texas, not 'upper Midwestern Texas.'
