초기 생애와 교육

Gill was born in Clovis, New Mexico, on a United States Air Force base to a father who served as an officer in the United States Air Force. Gill grew up on a cattle ranch in Eula, Texas. He attended Dartmouth College, where he headed the conservative student newspaper The Dartmouth Review and graduated cum laude with a Bachelors in history and economics.[4]

Career

After graduating, Gill worked in finance as an investment banker.[5]

Gill founded the online newspaper D.C. Enquirer in 2018, saying that he was "going to bat for President Trump in the public square." He marketed his father-in-law Dinesh D'Souza's 2022 film 2000 Mules, a political film stating the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen.[6][2]

U.S. House of Representatives

Elections

2024 U.S. House election

Gill announced he would seek the Republican nomination in Texas' 26th congressional district, seeking to succeed retiring incumbent Michael Burgess. Gill had moved to the district from New York City a year prior to Burgess announcing his retirement. Gill said that he would step back from his role as an editor for the D.C. Enquirer to run for office. He was endorsed by President Donald Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz.[2] Gill won the primary with over 50% of the vote, before winning the general election. Gill said that he hoped to join the House Freedom Caucus if elected into office.[2][7] Gill defeated Democratic nominee Ernest Lineberger III in the general election.[8]

Tenure

Rep. Gill was sworn in to the 119th United States Congress on January 3, 2025. Gill is the youngest sitting House Republican.[5] He is a member of the new House Department of Government Efficiency Committee.[9]

Committee assignments

Political positions

Gill stated that "fortifying the border" would be his principal policy objective.[2] He supports mass deportations and has shared false claims about migrants eating household pets.[10] Gill circulated a petition calling for the deportation of Somali-born Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar after Omar gave an interview, advising undocumented people to "refrain from disclosing information" when being questioned by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.[11]

At an event hosted by the New York Young Republican Club, Gill praised Daniel Penny, who was acquitted of manslaughter for the killing of Jordan Neely. Gill said, "I think we need a lot more Daniel Pennys in this country, because we have far too many Jordan Neelys."[12] Gill celebrated Penny's acquittal on X, posting "It's still not illegal to be white.”[10]

Gill supports President Trump's proposal to redevelop the Gaza Strip, stating "President Trump is bringing peace to the Middle East, just as he promised. PROMISES KEPT."[13]

In March 2025, Gill submitted a bill to put Trump's face on the $100 note once his second term ends.[14] That same month, Gill also introduced articles of impeachment against a judge for ruling against the Trump administration.[15]

In June 2025, Gill commented on a video of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani eating with his hands, "Civilized people in America don't eat like this. If you refuse to adopt Western customs, go back to the Third World."[16]
