Meadows Resigns House Seat to become Trump's Chief of Staff

Washington, D.C. - March 30, 2020 - (The Ponder News) -- U.S. Representative Mark Meadows has resigned his House Seat to become President Donald Trump's Chief of Staff.

Recently, he was notified that he may have come into contact with the COVID-19 virus, so he got tested. As a precaution, he self-quarantined himself, but continued fervently working from home as he continues to transition to Chief of Staff. He has since learned that he has tested negative for the virus.

In December, Meadows announced his transition by stating,

“For everything there is a season. After prayerful consideration and discussion with family, today I’m announcing that my time serving Western North Carolina in Congress will come to a close at the end of this term.

This was a decision I struggled with greatly. These last 8 years, I have been so blessed to serve the people of NC-11 and help give a voice to millions of Americans who feel Washington, DC has forgotten them. Since serving alongside President Trump, I have been a witness to historic economic prosperity, unemployment levels I only dreamed of when I took office, tax and regulatory reforms that are putting the American worker first, our Israeli embassy moved to Jerusalem, and trade deals that were once thought impossible. I have seen our law enforcement and first responders receive the support they deserve and our military once again put on a path to maintain its superiority. Through it all, I am so thankful to have been able to serve and give back to the great country I call home.

My work with President Trump and his administration is only beginning. This President has accomplished incredible results for the country in just 3 years, and I’m fully committed to staying in the fight with him and his team to build on those successes and deliver on his promises for the years to come. I’ve always said Congress is a temporary job, but the fight to return Washington, DC to its rightful owner, We The People, has only just begun.

To the people of Western North Carolina: it’s been my honor to be your Congressman. Thank you for your trust, faith, and support. God bless you.”
