Dan Crenshaw is a U.S. representative (R) serving Texas’ Second Congressional District. First elected in 2018, he serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, along with several subcommittees. Crenshaw previously had a 10-year career with the U.S. Navy SEALs. He had five overseas deployments, including in Fallujah, Iraq, and Helmand province, Afghanistan, where an IED blast destroyed his right eye and badly damaged his left. After deploying twice more, most recently to South Korea, Crenshaw was medically retired in 2016 as a lieutenant commander, leaving service with two Bronze Stars (one with Valor), the Purple Heart and the Navy Commendation Medal with Valor. In between his military service and elected office, he volunteered around his hometown of Katy, Texas, after Hurricane Harvey.
