Mike Pence’s brother Greg Pence (R-IN) announced his plans to retire from Congress.
“In 2017, I ran for Congress because I was Ready to Serve Again. As a former Marine, I approached the job with purpose,” he said in a statement on X.
“After three terms, I’ve made the decision to not file for reelection. For the remainder of my term this year, our team will continue to focus on delivering outstanding constituent services. To the voters in Indiana’s 6th District – it is a privilege and honor to represent you in our Nation’s capital.”

Pence’s retirement is the latest among GOP representatives.
Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO) announced that he will be leaving Congress at the end of this term.
“It has been [an] honor to serve the great people of the Third Congressional District and State of Missouri these past several years,” Luetkemeyer said in a statement. “However, after a lot of thoughtful discussion with my family, I have decided not to file for re-election and retire at the end of my term in December.”
“There is still a lot to do,” he added. “As we tackle the many challenges we face, I hope we remember what someone once said that ‘the greatness of our country is not found in the halls of Congress but in the hearts and homes of our people.’”
Thirteen other Republicans have announced their retirements.
