About Me
Gus learned about the importance of public service early in his life from his father, Michael Bilirakis, who represented the Ninth District from 1983 to 2006. Early in his career, Gus volunteered on his father’s campaigns, interned for President Reagan and the NRCC, and worked for Representative Don Sundquist. Gus earned his BA from the University of Florida and a JD from Stetson University. Gus then was a Senior Partner at the Bilirakis Law Group and he also taught government classes at St. Petersburg College.
Prior to being elected to Congress, Gus served four terms as a member of the Florida House of Representatives. Gus lives in Palm Harbor with his wife Eva, and sons Michael, Teddy, Manuel, and Nicholas.
