WASHINGTON, D.C. – Chairman Michael McCaul (TX-10), Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security and a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement after Chairman Jeb Hensarling (TX-05) announced that he will retire at the end of his current term:

Chairman McCaul: "I want to thank my fellow Chairman and Texan Jeb Hensarling for his years of service to this country and the state of Texas in the U.S. House of Representatives. It has been an honor and privilege to serve with Jeb during his tenure as Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee and under his leadership while he served as the Chair of the House Republican Conference. Jeb has been an influential voice in Congress for unleashing economic opportunity, promoting consumer choice, and pursuing smart regulation of our financial markets. He has not only been a great colleague, but also a great friend for more than a decade. I look forward to continuing our work together on behalf of Texans and their families for the remainder of the 115th Congress."
