How much would Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene R-GA get in a pension for 5 years in Congress? She can't draw it until age 62 (she is 51). Her pension is 5% of her $174,000 salary (1% times 5 years served) = $8,700 per year.

FWIW, while Texas has residency requirements for state-level offices, these do not apply to candidates for Congress. So, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) could run for a House district in Texas if he's a "resident" by the Republican primary, March 3, 2026.

President Donald Trump's pardon of Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) could be a hopeful sign for imprisoned former Sen. Robert Menendez (N.J.). He was indicted on federal corruption charges in September 2023, also by the Biden Justice Department, and convicted in August 2024.
