Congressman Troy E. Nehls, representing Texas’ 22nd District, shared several posts on social media addressing legislative priorities and personal reflections. His statements provide insight into his support for specific policies and remembrance of past military sacrifices.
On May 19, 2025, Nehls expressed strong support for a proposed tax policy reform. He stated, “No Tax on Overtime is a huge win for our nation’s men and women in blue.” He urged Congress to pass President Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” which aims to offer financial relief to law enforcement officers.
The following day, May 20, 2025, Nehls took a moment to honor fallen comrades from his military service. He commemorated the anniversary of the deaths of U.S. Army 1st Lt. Jeffrey DePrimo and Navy Lt. Jeffrey Ammon by an IED in Afghanistan’s Ghazni province in 2008. He described them as two brave men who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country: “17 years ago today…my platoon leader and friend…were killed by an IED…”
Later that same day, he reiterated his endorsement of President Trump’s tax legislation via another post. Nehls emphasized the need for permanency regarding the tax cuts introduced under Trump’s administration: “President Trump’s Tax Cuts need to be made permanent…We must pass this bill…”
Congressman Troy Nehls has been serving in Congress since replacing Pete Olson in 2021 and represents Texas’ 22nd District. Born in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin in 1968, he currently resides in Richmond and holds a BA from Liberty University.
