After much prayerful consideration and discussion with my family, I have decided not to seek re-election to the United States House of Representatives.
Assessments
The only verified evidence is Dunn's own January 13, 2026 statement that he decided not to seek re-election. That verifies the commitment/announcement and supports an effort badge, but it does not independently verify the later outcome that he actually did not seek re-election or that his House service concluded after five terms. The ballot, qualifying, and primary-result items are unverified and cannot be used as factual evidence under the instructions.
