In a series of tweets, Rep. Jodey Arrington shares his perspectives on religious faith, Texas history, and current political events. Arrington, who has been representing Texas’s 19th district since 2017, offers insights grounded in both historical reflection and commentary on contemporary issues. Born in Plainview in 1972, Arrington is a Texas Tech University graduate and resides in Lubbock.

On April 20, 2025, Arrington tweeted a religious message stating, "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.' (John 11:25) What we couldn’t achieve by mere reform, God accomplished with the death and resurrection of His son. No politician or political party will ever". The quote from the Bible emphasizes his belief in the power of divine intervention over political solutions.

On April 21, 2025, Arrington commemorated a significant event in Texas history. He tweeted, "Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad! God and Texas! 189 years ago, the Texan Army - outnumbered and outgunned - overwhelmed Mexican forces at San Jacinto in just 18 minutes to defeat Santa Ana, secure victory in the Texas Revolution, and win their independence. 'Be men'. The tweet celebrates the victory at the Battle of San Jacinto, a pivotal moment that led to Texas independence.

Later on April 21, 2025, Arrington expressed his views on the current political climate. He noted, "Satirical, ironic, and sadly true. The rapid erosion of the rule of law in just four years of Biden-Harris still haunts this great country. President Trump and Republicans are undeterred in cleaning up this mess, protecting our citizens, and putting America First.". This tweet critiques the Biden-Harris administration while expressing support for President Trump and Republican efforts to address these issues.

Jodey Arrington, who replaced Randy Neugebauer in 2017, continues to be an active voice in political and historical dialogue as he represents Texas's 19th district.
