On January 6, 2015, Gohmert failed in his bid to unseat then U.S. House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, a favorite of establishment Republicans.
An active Southern Baptist, he resides in the county seat of Tyler, Texas.
In the March 6, 20187, Republican primary, Gohmert defeated two rivals with 88.3 percent of the ballots cast. In the November 6 general election, he faces for the fourth time African-American Democrat Shirley J. McKellar.
