About Me
A fifth generation Texan, Mac Thornberry has strong ties to the people he serves in the U.S. House of Representatives. Mac is a lifelong resident of the 13th District of Texas.
Boosting domestic energy production, expanding private property rights, and strengthening rural health care are top priorities for Mac. And, as one of the few Members of Congress personally involved in agriculture, Mac understands the challenges agricultural producers face and has played a key role in efforts to support them.
Since first being elected in 1994, Mac has established himself as a leader on national security. He currently serves on the Armed Services Committee and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He is the Top Republican on the Armed Services Committee's Subcommittee on Terrorism, Unconventional Threats, and Capabilities.
