Join the Galveston Pachyderms for our October 5th Meeting:

Guest Speaker:  Congressman Randy Weber

Topic:"Unlocking the Capitol: The Hidden World of Policy Making, Government Shutdowns, Appropriations, and Community Project Funding”

Congressman Randy Weber is a public servant, proven conservative, former small business owner, and third-generation Texan representing the 14th District of Texas.

In Congress, he serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has the broadest jurisdiction of any legislative committee in Congress. Weber also serves on the Science Space and Technology.

For over 68 years, Randy Weber has called the Gulf Coast home - a place to start a family and build a business. Although juggling work and family takes great amounts of time and effort, Weber makes time to be an active member of his church and community. Weber built his air conditioning company, Weber’s Air & Heat, in 1981 from scratch and grew his business by using what his grandfather used to call ‘good old-fashion Texas horse sense and a strong work ethic.’ Like others who have successfully moved from business to public service, Weber’s real-world experience in the private sector underpins his commitment to lower taxes, his contempt for wasteful spending, and his firm dedication to better schools.

Prior to being elected to Congress, Weber served four years in the Texas State House. During his tenure, Weber served on the committees of Environmental Regulation, Public Education, and as Vice Chair of Border and Intergovernmental Affairs. While serving in the Texas House, Randy Weber authored landmark legislation to combat human trafficking and protect women, young girls, and boys - some as young as 12 years old.

Weber has lived in a 20-mile radius all his life and has been married to Brenda Weber, a retired schoolteacher, for over 45 years. He is a graduate of Alvin Community College, and holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Houston at Clear Lake. Randy and Brenda have three children and eight wonderful grandchildren. He previously served on the House Foreign Affairs and Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
