On Tuesday, Republican Representative Jodey Arrington successfully secured his reelection to the U.S. House, where he serves a district in Texas known for its abundant oil resources in the Permian Basin. Arrington, who has been in office since his initial election in 2017, has established himself as a prominent political figure in the region.
