Originally from the Houston area, Rep. Dan Crenshaw is a proud 6th generation Texan. From an early age, Dan knew that he wanted to serve his country with the most elite fighting force in history: the U.S. Navy SEALs. His father’s career in the Texas oil and gas industry moved his family all over the world, including Ecuador and Colombia, where he attended high school. As a result, Dan is fluent in Spanish. In 2006, Dan graduated from Tufts University, where he earned his Naval officer commission through Navy ROTC. Following graduation, he immediately reported to SEAL training in Coronado, CA, where he met his future wife, Tara. After graduating SEAL training, Dan deployed to Fallujah, Iraq to join SEAL Team Three, his first of five deployments overseas.
Our economy thrives when government and bureaucracy get out of the way of innovation and entrepreneurship. Lower taxes, deregulation and pro-growth policies are the best way to boost our economy, which in turn creates more jobs and higher wages for the middle class.
The policies of the last few years have demonstrated just how effective a pro-growth agenda is for the American economy. The unemployment rate is lower than it’s been in decades, more Americans are joining the workforce and wages are increasing. A strong economy is crucial to lifting Americans out of poverty. We must continue to embrace policies that provide more jobs and create a brighter future for all.
