The upcoming retirement of Rep. Kay Granger (R) and Rep. Colin Allred (D) will open a congressional district seat for North Texas, as both leave their incumbent roles to focus on their future political aspirations. Allred plans to challenge Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in the next elections, confirms CBS News Texas. Additionally, U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess, a prominent Republican in healthcare, will not run in the 2024 re-election race, leading to a third vacant Dallas-area spot for the 2024 House elections, per Hoodline.

Rep. Burgess’s tenure spans two decades, during which he represented a firmly Republican Dallas-Fort Worth suburb seat. A dominant critic of the Democratic healthcare reforms during Obama's presidency, he took an active part in Republican efforts to repeal the "Obamacare" Act under President Trump. His contribution to the House Budget Committee, the Rules Committee, and the Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Health distinguish him as the longest-serving doctor in Congress, as cited by FOX4 News.

Burgess's journey from a "small-town doctor delivering babies, having no prior political experience," to a U.S. congressman, was noted in his retirement announcement, as reported by the Texas Tribune. His retirement signals a significant shift for the Republican party, indicating a need for new leadership in his prominent areas.

The Republican veteran, Burgess, joins the ranks of other Texas representatives leaving Congress. Rep. Kay Granger, the first Republican woman in Congress from Texas and a crucial figure on the House Appropriations Committee, is also exiting, mentions The Hill.
