Republican U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill is seeking reelection in Texas’ 26th Congressional District in the Nov. 3, 2026, election. Democrat Steven Shook and Libertarian Phil Gray are listed as opponents in the state ballot certification.
Gill took office Jan. 3, 2025, according to the House clerk. He serves on the Judiciary, Budget, and Oversight and Government Reform committees. His congressional biography describes a Dartmouth education, work in finance and founding the DC Enquirer.
Immigration and spending
Gill’s campaign platform supports stronger border enforcement, the Remain in Mexico policy, lower federal spending and a balanced budget. It also calls for legislation addressing housing affordability and prioritizing American workers.
Energy and social policy
Gill advocates reducing energy regulation and increasing domestic production. He supports gun rights, opposes abortion and gender-transition surgery for minors, and favors a larger parental role in school curricula.
The issues page does not provide a detailed financing package or implementation timetable for these priorities. Their effects on household costs and local services are not quantified.
Office authority
A House member can introduce legislation, vote on spending and conduct oversight. Gill could not enact these proposals alone; legislation generally requires both chambers and presidential approval. Federal policies also operate alongside state and local authority over schools and other services.
The Flower Mound Times did not receive a direct questionnaire response from the candidate and does not endorse candidates.
