Rep. Jodey Arrington, the U.S. Representative for Texas’ 19th district, made a series of public posts via his social media account earlier this week. The Congressman, who has served in this capacity since 2017, touched on topics ranging from agriculture to education and reflections on religious themes.
In a post dated April 16, 2025, Arrington expressed appreciation for Secretary Rollins, highlighting her background in agriculture. He emphasized her dedication by stating, “Agriculture isn’t just her job description, it’s @SecRollins’ passion.” Arrington further noted her formative years growing up on a farm in rural Texas, her involvement with the Future Farmers of America (FFA), and her educational achievements, including her degree in agriculture development from Texas A&M University. He also mentioned her connection to Texas Tech University and valued her engagement with the FFA.
On April 17, 2025, Arrington celebrated his alma mater, Texas Tech University, with a spirited comment, reiterating his association with the institution from which he graduated in 1994. He remarked, “It’s always a great day to be a Red Raider!” and included hashtags associated with the school and university president.
In a more somber tone, Arrington shared a personal reflection on April 19, 2025, concerning the religious observance of Good Friday. He quoted a biblical passage, “For our sake He made him to be sin who knew no sin…” (2 Corinthians 5:21), and contemplated the events commemorated by the holiday. He reflected on the paradox of Good Friday, touching on the crucifixion of Jesus, and described it as a day when Jesus was “treated like a criminal” and subjected to a public execution.
Throughout these posts, Arrington’s reflections connect his professional viewpoints with personal and communal themes. Born in Plainview, Texas in 1972, Jodey Arrington currently resides in Lubbock, Texas.
