About

Congressman Troy Nehls 1proudly 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.

In 1994, Troy began his law enforcement service with Fort Bend ISD. He spent the next twenty-six years serving Fort Bend County in various law enforcement roles. From 2004 to 2012, he served two terms as the elected Constable for Ft. Bend County Pct. 4. After two successful terms as Constable, Troy was elected as Fort Bend County Sheriff in 2012. In 2016, Troy was re-elected and completed his second term in December 2020.

In his 8 years as Sheriff, Troy maintained his fiscal conservative principles while managing the 826 staff and $79 million budget of the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office. He created cutting edge recidivism reduction programs like HVAC and welding training programs for non-violent Fort Bend County jail inmates, at no cost to taxpayers, so the inmates had job ready skills when they were released. He used his position as Sheriff to advocate increased awareness of mental illness, even hosting large seminars. He even took steps to start a specialized mental health unit at the Sheriff’s Office who responds to mental health calls. Most notably, in his eight years as Sheriff, burglaries were reduced 60%, aggravated assaults were reduced 27%, and robberies were reduced 31%.

Troy was officially sworn in as Congressman for Texas’ 22nd District on January 3rd, 2021. Troy received his bachelor’s degree from Liberty University and his master’s degree from the University of Houston Downtown. He resides in Richmond with his wife, Jill, daughters, Jenna, Cambry, and Tori, and their four dogs Archer, Buddy, Boo, and Lulu. They worship at Faith United Methodist in Richmond.

Criminal Justice Reform

Throughout my 30 years in law enforcement, I’ve seen first-hand the human and monetary cost of high recidivism rates and our broken criminal justice system.

Power Lines
Energy
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.

Immigration

Having served in law enforcement over the last thirty years, I bring a different perspective to the immigration debate.

As a former Texas Sheriff, I understand what our law enforcement and Border Patrol Agents need to get their job done. I will strongly advocate for their priorities on the Committee.

Veterans Affairs
As a proud veteran of the United States Army and a Member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, I know all too well the sacrifices our brave men and women in uniform make to preserve our freedoms. Our veterans go overseas leaving their families and loved ones behind to keep the homeland safe and fight our enemies. They sacrifice life and limb in service to our nation and when they return home, they do not receive the care they deserve. Dozens of veterans take their life every day in this country. That is a national tragedy that we must end. We are the greatest country in the world, and we can do better than that – we owe it to our veterans to do better than that.

District

Source: Wikipedia

Texas’s 22nd congressional district of the United States House of Representatives covers a largely suburban southwestern portion of the Greater Houston metropolitan area. The district includes most of Fort Bend County, including most of the cities of Sugar Land, Rosenberg, Needville and the county seat of Richmond as well as the county’s share of the largely unincorporated Greater Katy area west of Houston. In addition, the district also contains portions of northern Brazoria County, including most of Pearland and Alvin and all of Wharton and Matagorda counties, as well as a small portion of western Harris County centered on most of that county’s share of the Greater Katy area.

The district is represented by Republican Troy Nehls, who was elected in 2020 over two-time challenger Democrat Sri Preston Kulkarni. From 2009-2021 Texas’s 22nd Congressional District was represented by Peter Graham Olson (Pete Olson). From 1985 until 2006 the district was represented by former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and before that, former Congressman and three-time presidential candidate Ron Paul briefly in 1976 and again from 1979 to 1985.

The Cook Partisan Voting Index, which derives its data from the two most recent presidential elections, gave the district a 10-point Republican lean compared to the national average until its 2021 review, when it was lowered to 4-points.

Wikipedia

Troy Edwin Nehls (/nɛlz/ NELZ; born April 7, 1968)[3] is an American politician and former law enforcement officer who is the U.S. representative for Texas’s 22nd congressional district. From 2013 to 2021, he served as the sheriff for Fort Bend County, Texas. Nehls is a member of the Republican Party.

Early life and education

Nehls was born in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. His father, Edwin Nehls, served in the Korean War and as sheriff of Dodge County, Wisconsin.[4] Nehls enlisted in the United States Army Reserve in 1988. He served tours of duty in Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and earned two Bronze Stars.[4] He earned his bachelor’s degree from Liberty University and a master’s degree in criminal justice from University of Houston–Downtown.[5]

Career

Military and law enforcement

In 1988, Nehls joined the Army Reserve. Nehls moved to Fort Bend County, Texas, in 1994, and joined the police department of Richmond, Texas.[5] In 1998, he was fired for reasons including destruction of evidence.[6]

In 2004, Nehls was elected constable for Fort Bend County, while he was serving as a reservist in Iraq.[4] He retired from the Army Reserve with the rank of major in 2009.[4]

In 2012, Nehls was elected sheriff of Fort Bend County, taking office in January 2013.[7] He was reelected in 2016. In July 2019, he announced that he would not seek reelection as sheriff in November 2020.[8]

In October 2008, Nehls was awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) for his service in Afghanistan in March 2008. In March 2023, the military rescinded the award of the badge to Nehls, because he was not eligible to receive it – he was neither an infantryman nor a special forces operator, but was instead a civil affairs officer. The revocation became public in May 2024.[9] Nehls continued to wear the badge, saying that he disagreed with the revocation, and that he believed “this is a concerted effort to discredit my military service and continued service to the American people as a member of Congress.”[10] Nehls subsequently stopped wearing the badge owing in large part to these Stolen Valor claims against him.[11]

Congress

Nehls formed an exploratory committee for Texas’s 22nd congressional district for the 2018 elections, who would have pit him against incumbent Republican Pete Olson, but decided in December 2017 not to run for that office.[12]

In mid-July 2019, Nehls created a website where he asked Fort Bend County residents whether he should run for Congress in the 22nd congressional district, which covers Katy, Sugar Land, and Pearland.[13] On July 25, 2019, Olson announced he would not seek reelection in 2020.[14] In December 2019, Nehls announced that he would run for the seat.[15]

U.S. House of Representatives

2020 election

Main article: 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas § District 22

Nehls finished first in the March 2020 Republican primary[16] with 40.5% of the vote. In the July runoff, he defeated second-place finisher Kathaleen Wall, receiving 70% of the vote.[17][18]

According to his campaign website, Nehls ran in order to improve mental and physical health care for veterans and to protect oil and gas jobs in Texas.[19] Two days after he became the nominee, the “Standing with President Trump” page on that website was removed.[20]

In the general election in November, Nehls faced Democratic nominee Sri Preston Kulkarni.[18] He defeated Kulkarni, 52% to 45%, and assumed office on January 3, 2021.[21][22]

117th Congress

In his first week in the U.S. House, Nehls and other members of Congress were seen assisting U.S. Capitol Police in barricading the door to the House floor from protesters during the 2021 United States Capitol attack.[23] Nehls admonished rioters trying to enter the House chamber.[24]

On January 7, 2021, Nehls joined 121 other Republican members of Congress in objecting to counting certain electoral votes in the 2020 presidential election.[25] On January 13, 2021, he voted against the second impeachment of President Donald Trump.

After President Joe Biden delivered a speech to a joint session of Congress in April 2021, Nehls approached Biden and said he wanted to work together on criminal justice reform. Biden administration staff subsequently reached out to Nehls’s office.[26] On May 25, 2021, Nehls partnered with Representative Val Demings to introduce H.R. 3529, The Second Chance Opportunity for Re-Entry Education (SCORE) Act, to direct grant funds to county jails for career training programs for non-violent, incarcerated individuals to reduce jail recidivism.[27]

On January 3, 2022, Nehls entered a full transcript[28][29] of an interview on The Joe Rogan Experience with Robert W. Malone into the Congressional Record in order to circumvent what he said was censorship by social media.[30][28]

In the wake of the FBI search of presidential records at Mar-a-Lago in 2022, Nehls announced his support for Donald Trump for president in 2024 and denounced the FBI and Department of Justice as “corrupt”.[31]

The PACT ACT which expanded VA benefits to veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during their military service, received a “nay” from Nehls in March 2022.[32] Regarding cannabis, despite lobbying from VSOs such as the DAV,[33] Nehls voted in April 2022 against 2022 MORE Act.[34][35]

in 2022, Nehls published his book The Big Fraud: What Democrats Don’t Want You to Know about January 6, the 2020 Election, and a Whole Lot Else,[36] which laid out his thoughts on events around that presidential election.[37]

Nehls’s bill, H.R. 6064, passed the House by a vote of 414-2 and was signed into law by President Joe Biden on December 27, 2022. H.R. 6064 directs the VA and National Academies of Science and Medicine to review VA examinations that are provided for mental and physical conditions linked to military sexual trauma and assess the impairments of individuals arising from such trauma.[38]

118th Congress

In 2023, Nehls was among 47 Republicans to vote in favor of H.Con.Res. 21, which directed President Joe Biden to remove U.S. troops from Syria within 180 days.

Nehls voted in favor of H.R. 3746, the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, which increased the federal debt limit, established new discretionary spending limits, rescinded unobligated funds, and expanded work requirements for federal programs.[39]

Nehls in January 2024 indicated that he would not support an immigration bill regarding the Mexico–United States border being negotiated by the Senate and the Biden administration, because the bill would “help Joe Biden’s approval rating”.[40] Nehls further said that “Congress doesn’t have to do anything to secure our southern border and fix it.”[41]

During the 2024 State of the Union Address, Nehls wore a shirt featuring Donald Trump’s mug shot and the words “Never Surrender!”[42] He later co-sponsored a bill to rename Dulles International Airport after Trump in April.[43]

On March 26, 2024 the United States House Committee on Ethics announced Nehls was the subject of an investigation. The Committee did not specify the focus of the investigation, but Nehls said it was related to his campaign’s finances.[44] On May 10, 2024, the independent Office of Congressional Ethics reported its findings that probable cause was determined, indicating that Nehls had converted campaign funds for personal use, and recommended further review.[45][46]

Following a GOP conference meeting with President-elect Trump on November 13, 2024,[47] Nehls enthused to gathered news reporters:

“So now he’s got a mission statement of his mission and his goals and objective. Whatever that is, we need to embrace it. All of it. Every single word. If Donald Trump says jump three feet high and scratch your head, we all jump three feet high and scratch our heads. And that’s it. He’s the greatest thing since sliced bread!”[48]

Personal life

Nehls has a twin brother, Trever. Trever Nehls served in the Army Reserve for 24 years, including tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Another brother, Todd, served in the Wisconsin Army National Guard and is a former sheriff of Dodge County.[4] Trever succeeded Troy as a constable for Fort Bend County in 2013,[7] and won the Republican nomination to succeed him as the sheriff of Fort Bend County in March 2020.[56]

Nehls and his wife, Jill, an educator, have three daughters.[5]
