On Saturday, September 7th, Congressman Dan Crenshaw will be hosting his Summit for Emerging American Leaders at the John Cooper School for all high school students. This is a non-political event put on by the Congressman’s Official Office.

We are thrilled to announce three new and exciting speakers for the upcoming Congressional Summit for Emerging American Leaders!

Tim Kopra is a former NASA Astronaut and retired Colonel from the United States Army. Kopra, a graduate of the United States Military Academy, is now the CEO of Starlab Space LLC, the commercial space station that will replace the International Space Station. Tim served in the military as an Army aviator in Operations Desert Shield and Storm, before joining NASA and flying missions on the Space Shuttle, as well as co-piloting the Soyuz Spacecraft.

Nancy Currie-Gregg is a former NASA Astronaut and retired Colonel from the United States Army. As an Astronaut, Nancy flew four missions, accruing over 1,000 hours in space, and was a part of the mission in 1998 that turned on the lights in the International Space Station. Prior to her assignment at NASA, Currie-Gregg served in the United States Army for over 23 years. Currently, she is the Professor of Practice, Industrial & Systems Engineering and Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University.

Matt Gray is the county commissioner for Montgomery County Precinct 4. Gray is an 8th generation Texan, and a proud native of East Montgomery County, having graduated from New Caney High School before attending Sam Houston State University. Matt has been serving his constituents since he was elected in 2022. In his rare off time, Commissioner Gray can be found continuing his graduate studies in Construction Science and coaching little league.

Healthcare Innovation Summit

I am proud to announce that we will be hosting our 6th Annual Healthcare Innovation Summit on October 10th, 2024 in The Woodlands! During the program, you will have the opportunity to hear from a number of innovators in the healthcare industry, ranging from biotech to primary care. Prior to the event, there will be a can't-miss networking opportunity with a chance to get to know the presenters.

In addition, one healthcare innovator will be highlighted and presented with the Susan Crenshaw Congressional Healthcare Innovation Award. Past honorees have included Stephen Hahn (former FDA Commissioner), Nobel Prize winner James Allison, Bill McNair (Texans owner and founder of much of the work at TMC), Billy Cohn (JLabs) and Dr. Andrea Vidali (Columbia University).

Inspiring High School Students

I spoke with students at College Park High School and Carl Wunsche Senior High School about my upcoming Congressional Summit for Emerging American Leaders and the importance of public service.

A Conversation with former Mumford and Sons member and host of the Winston Marshall Show

In this special cross-post episode of The Winston Marshall Show, the former Mumford & Sons musician engages Rep. Crenshaw in a wide-ranging discussion on U.S. foreign policy, including populist arguments for isolationism. The conversation covers America’s involvement in the Ukraine War, the Israel-Hamas conflict, and compares President Biden’s most significant foreign policy failures with President Trump’s record. They also delve into the realities of the ‘deep state’ and the internal divisions within the Republican Party driven by the populist movement.
