ongressman Troy Nehls proudly represents the 22nd Congressional District of Texas in the U.S. House of Representatives. Texas’ 22nd Congressional District includes portions of Fort Bend, Brazoria, and Harris counties. Prior to his election to Congress, Troy served our district for nearly 30 years in law enforcement and served our country 21 years in the US Army Reserve.
At the age of 19, Troy enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve. He deployed on combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan, among other places. After 21 years of service, he retired with the rank of Major and as the recipient of two Bronze Star medals. Back home, Troy continued his service through law enforcement, a multi-generational tradition for his family.
These new energy policies by President Biden have such a negative impact in our Congressional District, as well as across the entire State of Texas, and the entire nation. The oil and gas industry employs thousands and thousands of hardworking families in TX-22 and for over a year, they’ve had to deal with this pandemic and we’re seeing the American families struggling each and every day now get sucker-punched again with these new policies from the Biden Administration. I believe we can be both good stewards of our environment while still protecting our Texas energy industry.
