Troy Edwin Nehls, born April 7, 1968 (age 58), is a police officer who served as the sheriff of Fort Bend County, Texas. A Republican, he is the current U.S. representative from the state's 22nd congressional district, taking office on January 3, 2021.
Nehls announced on December 17, 2020 that he would join other Republican representatives-elect in demanding an investigation into the 2020 election fraud.[1]
2020 U.S. House election in Texas' 22nd district
Nehls announced in early December 2019 his run for United States House of Representatives to replace retiring Republican Pete Olson.[2] A possible RINO who opposes Donald Trump[3] in terms of immigration, he ran against conservative activist Kathaleen Wall in the Republican primary,[4] who has advocated for punishing China over the coronavirus.[5] However, he opposes defunding the police[6] and promotes law enforcement.
After winning the primary runoff over Wall, Nehls removed his public support for Trump from his campaign website.[7]
Facing Democrat Sri Kulkarni, who has previously been arrested for cocaine,[8] Nehls won the general election to succeed Olson in the increasingly liberal district.[9]
Political positions
Troy Nehls has vigorously attacked the 2nd amendment.[10] However, a major gun control group still spent a large sum of money to attempt defeating him in the 2020 election.[11]
