A Republican primary candidate for Texas’ 26th congressional district just earned another major endorsement in his bid to win the open seat.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), chair of the House Judiciary Committee and a leading member of the House Oversight Committee, lent his support to Flower Mound resident Brandon Gill, 29, the former investment banker and analyst who launched the right-leaning news outlet DC Enquirer.
“Brandon Gill represents one of the best America First candidates for Congress. America and North Texas need a fighter like Gill to slash Washington spending, secure the southern border, and protect conservative values from Washington elites. In Congress, Brandon Gill will live by the principle of doing what you said you would do,” said Jordan in a statement, according to the Gateway Pundit.
Texas’ 26th congressional district comprises parts of Denton County, including Flower Mound, Lewisville, and Carrollton, as well as rural portions of Cooke County and Wise County.
“Jim Jordan built the conservative movement that has fought against the broken status quo in Washington. As Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Jordan is leading the impeachment inquiry into the Biden crime family’s crooked business deals and investigating Hunter Biden. It’s an honor to have Chairman Jordan’s support, and I look forward to fighting the DC swamp alongside him in Congress,” Gill said, per the Gateway Pundit.
Gill has also secured an endorsement from former President Donald Trump and several sitting Republican House members, including Reps. Troy Nehls (R-TX), Ronny Jackson (R-TX) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO).
“Most people, definitely outside of Washington, would like to see some fresh faces here,” Gill told Punchbowl News earlier this month. “Oftentimes, we’ve had the same people doing the same things for a very long time, and people are looking for a change. I think a new generation is helpful.”
Texas’ 26th congressional district is currently represented by Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX), who announced in November that he would not be seeking reelection this cycle, according to The Texas Tribune.
