'''Louis Buller Gohmert, Jr.''', known as '''Louie Gohmert''' (born August 18, 1953), is the completely apeshit insane sack of cells who has served since January 2005 as the [[U.S. Representative]] for [[Texas]]' 1st congressional district, which covers a large portion of East Texas. A former state court district judge for Smith County (1993-2002), the [[Republican Party|Republican]] Gohmert is among the most [[conservative]] members of [[Congress]]. He is known for being barred from every nuthouse in the country for being too batshit crazy for any insane asylum.
Gohmert will leave Congress on January 3, 2023. He is not seeking a tenth term but is instead challenging state Attorney General [[Ken Paxton]] in the [[primary]] set for March 1, 2022. Two other significant candidates in the race are [[George P. Bush]], the son of [[Florida]] former Governor [[Jeb Bush]] and the outgoing state land commissioner, and Eva Guzman, who resigned from the Texas Supreme Court to make the race. Though a strong backer of former [[U.S. President]] [[Donald Trump]], Gohmert will run without Trump's support. Earlier in 2001, Trump endorsed a third term for incumbent Paxton.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/louie-gohmert-republican-lawmaker-who-downplayed-the-insurrection-wants-to-be-the-top-law-enforcement-officer-in-texas/ar-AAR1jMm?ocid=msedgntp|title=Louie Gohmert: Republican lawmaker who downplayed the insurrection wants to be the top law enforcement officer in Texas|publisher=msn.com|date=November 23, 2021|author=Devan Cole|accessdate=November 24, 2021}}</ref>
