A Conservative Fighter with Powerful Backing

Gill’s campaign received significant support from high-profile conservatives, including former President Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz. His platform focused on key issues resonating with conservative Texans, such as strengthening immigration laws, implementing effective economic policies, and defending the Second Amendment.

“My district is looking for a conservative, Republican fighter,” Gill stated. “Somebody who is going to stand up to the establishment. Somebody who is going to actually represent the values of conservative Texans in Washington. That’s something we don’t have enough of right now, and that’s something I’ll certainly do.”

The young congressman-elect brings a unique background to his new role. Raised on a cattle ranch near Abilene, Texas, Gill graduated cum laude from Dartmouth College with degrees in economics and history. His professional experience includes a successful career on Wall Street and in managing hedge funds, offering a financially informed approach to policy making.

A Strong Conservative Agenda

Gill’s campaign platform addressed a wide range of conservative priorities. He emphasized his commitment to tackling illegal immigration, bolstering the economy, reducing crime, supporting energy independence, and protecting Second Amendment rights. Additionally, Gill took strong stances on pro-life issues, support for Israel, and opposition to gender-transition surgeries for minors.

“Congratulations to Brandon Gill on his hard-earned victory in Texas’ 26th Congressional District. Gill’s dedication to fiscal responsibility and economic freedom has inspired Texans, and he’s proven himself ready to lead with integrity and conservative principles.” – Club for Growth PAC President David McIntosh

The congressman-elect has also gained attention for his connections to conservative media. He is married to Danielle D’Souza, daughter of conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza, and has been involved in marketing the election documentary “2000 Mules.” Gill has also launched a pro-Trump news site called DC Enquirer, further cementing his position as a rising star in conservative circles.

As Gill prepares to take office, he has expressed a strong commitment to supporting former President Trump’s agenda in Congress. With his youth, conservative credentials, and powerful backers, Brandon Gill is poised to become a significant voice for conservative values in the national legislature.
