Rep. Troy E. Nehls Meets with Local Leaders in TX-22 Greetings! I wanted to take a moment to share with you a recap on what happened last week in Texas' 22nd District and the United States House of Representatives. This Week in TX-22 Rep. Nehls Participates in Panel with Americans for Prosperity I participated in a panel with Americans for Prosperity at the VFW in Pearland, Texas, to discuss our nation's future. From crime to out-of-control inflation to the wide-open southern border, President Biden destroyed the booming country he inherited from President Trump. I’m doing everything I can to reverse the disastrous policies of the Biden Administration and put America First. Rep. Nehls Meets with Houston Area Realtors Homeownership and the ability to raise your family in safe communities with good schools is a key piece of the American Dream.

Nehls Speaks to Wharton County Active Senior Citizen Group This week, I was at the Rice Country Grill in El Campo, Texas, to provide the Wharton County Active Senior Citizen group with an update on the work I have done so far in the 118th Congress and talked about the issues that are plaguing our nation due to the disastrous policies of the Biden Administration. I enjoyed meeting with everyone. Thank you for having me! Rep.
