On December 5, 2019, Graves announced that he would not seek re-election in 2020. On September 11, 2020, he announced that he would resign, effective October 4 of the same year. According to News Channel 9, Graves said, "Congress is going into a long recess and my committee work will be complete. In short, my work will be done."

Graves has been an elected public official since 2003, having previously served as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives. He was elected to the U.S. House in June 2010, after winning a special election in Georgia's 9th Congressional District.

Trade adjustment assistance (TAA) is a federal program providing American workers displaced by foreign trade agreements with job training and services. The measure was packaged with trade promotion authority (TPA), also known as fast-track authority. TPA is a legislative procedure that allows Congress to define "U.S. negotiating objectives and spells out a detailed oversight and consultation process for during trade negotiations. Under TPA, Congress retains the authority to review and decide whether any proposed U.S. trade agreement will be implemented," according to the Office of the United States Trade Representative. Graves was one of 158 Republicans to vote against TAA. Trade promotion authority On June 12, 2015, the House passed the trade promotion authority (TPA) measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015 —by a vote of 219-211. TPA gives the president fast-track authority to negotiate trade agreements sent to Congress without the opportunity for amendment or filibuster. Although the House approved TPA, it was a largely symbolic vote given the measure was part of a package trade bill including trade adjustment assistance (TAA), which was rejected earlier the same day. Graves was one of 191 Republicans to support the measure. Trade promotion authority second vote After the trade adjustment assistance (TAA) and trade promotion authority (TPA) did not pass the House together on June 12, 2015, representatives voted to authorize TPA alone as an amendment to HR 2146—the Defending Public Safety Employees' Retirement Act—on June 18, 2015. The amendment passed by a vote of 218-208, with all voting members of the House maintaining their original positions on TPA except for Ted Yoho (R-Fla.). Graves was one of 190 Republicans to vote in favor of the amendment. Trade adjustment assistance second vote The House passed HR 1295—the Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015—on June 25, 2015, by a vote of 286-138. The Senate packaged trade adjustment assistance (TAA) in this bill after the House rejected the TAA measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015. Along with trade promotion authority (TPA), which Congress passed as part of HR 2146—the Defending Public Safety Employees' Retirement Act—TAA became law on June 29, 2015. Graves was one of 132 Republicans to vote against HR 1295. Defense spending authorization On May 15, 2015, the House passed HR 1735—the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016—by a vote of 269-151. The bill "authorizes FY2016 appropriations and sets forth policies for Department of Defense (DOD) programs and activities, including military personnel strengths. It does not provide budget authority, which is provided in subsequent appropriations legislation." Graves voted with 227 other Republicans and 41 Democrats to approve the bill.

National security

American response in Syria

Graves supported President Obama's decision to a seek congressional authorization for any potential military strikes in Syria in a statement on August 31, 2013.

"I welcome the president's decision to seek congressional authorization for military action in Syria, and I look forward to the important national debate in the days ahead. In seeking support and legitimacy from Congress, President Obama must clearly explain to the American people what our objectives are in Syria and to what extent our military and treasury will be used to achieve those ends," Graves said.

However, after he attended a classified briefing on the issue, he said on September 9, 2013, that he opposed the authorization of military strikes against the Syrian government.

That averages to $729,007, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $6,956,438.47. Graves ranked as the 237th most wealthy representative in 2012.
