Brandon Gill represents Texas’s 26th district, he’s only 30 years old, and a young dad, married to his college sweetheart, sharp conservative voice. His his fans love that he’s this fresh, articulate, all-American guy who doesn’t come from politics. He’s a former Turning Point USA activist who jumped straight into Congress and immediately started going after what he sees as elite overreach, big government, and cultural decay. People see him as proof that young conservatives don’t have to be cynical or washed out, they can still be married, have kids, and fight for traditional values while staying relevant. The “young father in Congress” image lands really well with the base. He’s one of the few Gen Z/Millennial Republicans getting serious attention right now. He’s 32, born on an Air Force base in New Mexico, and grew up on a cattle ranch in West Texas. His dad was a fighter pilot who flew combat missions in the Gulf War, and his grandfather was a Southern Baptist preacher, so service and faith run deep in his family. At Dartmouth he graduated cum laude with degrees in economics and history, led the conservative student paper, and grew the Christian Union into one of the biggest groups on a pretty hostile campus. After college he worked as an investment banker in New York, then started his own conservative news outlet, the DC Enquirer, before running for Congress. At 30 he got elected as the youngest Republican in the House. He’s in the Freedom Caucus, serves on Judiciary and Oversight, and pushes hard on border security, cutting government waste, and protecting life. Lives in Flower Mound with Danielle and their two little ones. Classic Texas conservative story, ranch kid to Congress.
