Meet Brandon Gill
It is the honor of a lifetime to serve as your Congressman for Texas’ 26th District and to serve alongside President Trump. My calling to serve is deeply rooted in Texas values and family heritage.Since I was born—on a United States Air Force base—I’ve had a deep and abiding love for this country and the principles it stands for. And it started with my family. My father was a fighter pilot who flew more than 60 combat missions over Iraq during the Persian Gulf War. My grandfather was a Southern Baptist preacher in the Dallas area. Service is in my veins.
I grew up on a thousand-acre cattle ranch outside of Abilene, Texas, where we raised Angus beef cattle. For as long as I can remember, I was working cows, building fences, driving tractors and backhoes, plowing fields, and slinging hay bales. The work was difficult, but being part of a family business that involved long days and hard labor taught me that great things don’t come easy. It was the type of work too many in Washington look down upon, and the people I grew up with are the Americans too often forgotten by our elite class.
I attended Dartmouth College and graduated cum laude with degrees in both Economics and History. I was president of the conservative paper, The Dartmouth Review. I was also president of Christian Union and grew it into one of the largest student groups on campus, despite being on a campus hostile to the Christian faith. In college, I fought the Left nonstop—on their own turf—and I left Dartmouth even more conservative than when I arrived.
Upon graduation, I became an investment banker on Wall Street and later worked as an analyst at a global, multi-strategy hedge fund.
For many people, I was living the American Dream. I was working at one of the largest and most successful hedge funds in the world and rising fast in the industry.
Yet the call to service and duty to my country came. I could not sit back as progressive politicians and their cheerleaders in the media worked to destroy all the things that make our country great. As the radical Left began inflicting disastrous economic policies on millions of working-class Americans, in communities like the one I grew up in, I felt called to fight back.
That’s why I left a successful career in finance. I soon launched DC Enquirer, a conservative, America First news outlet that exploded in popularity almost overnight. Within weeks, it was receiving more Facebook engagement than The Washington Post, despite being censored.
I am happily married to my wife, Danielle. She has written two books—one about Christianity and another pro-life book that debunks the Left’s pro-abortion arguments. She served on the Advisory Board of Women for Trump and led the Texas Women for Trump bus tour. She has spoken at churches across Texas, at Turning Point USA conferences, and at rallies before the Supreme Court to confirm Amy Coney Barrett. She is a media personality who has consistently defended our conservative values. She is an amazing mother who continues to fight for the littlest among us.
I am also a father to our beautiful daughter, Marigold, and our son, Winston.
As your Congressman, I’ve worked to defend President Trump and advance our America First agenda. Together, we successfully stopped the largest tax hike in American history, secured the southern border, and ended funding for woke Leftist projects. Now, there is more work to be done.
I’m running for re-election so all of our children can live in a better Texas—and a better America.
