Patriot, I wanted to carve out a moment and share my story with you straight from the source.

I get called a lot of nasty names by Leftists who hate our country – but none of it bothers me.

I’ll keep fighting all the same.

But I did want to take a minute to tell you about my story & how I became the youngest Republican member of Congress and where I really come from.

So without further ado, here it goes.

This is a story about Rush Limbaugh blaring on the radio while I ran 300 head of cattle.

Before Washington, before Congress, before any of this… There was a cattle ranch outside of Abilene, Texas.

That's where I grew up. On the land, under the sun, with dirt on my boots and work to do before the school bus ever showed up.

Every morning, my day started the same way, with my AM radio crackling to life, and the voice of Rush Limbaugh booming through the speakers. 

Rush Limbaugh was a titanic man who taught me so much. 

He taught me to love this country and never apologize for it. 

He taught me that standing up for America’s unique & beautiful culture and defending this country with every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears you could give was a noble calling… A calling that I am proud to accept, and will continue to accept until my last days on earth. 

And when Rush signed off, the cattle were still waiting.

All 300 of them.

I'll tell you one thing — when you're responsible for 300 head of cattle, you learn real fast to watch where you step. Probably good training for Washington, come to think of it.

But my favorite story from the ranch? Our donkey.

Our whole family went back and forth trying to figure out what to name him. He was stubborn, braying at everything and sometimes refused to do what he was told. 

But I took one look at him and said, "Let’s call him Barack."

It just fit. You can probably understand why.

Now, that ranch — those early mornings, those long days, that crackly AM radio — it shaped who I am today.

It taught me that freedom is worth fighting for as something real and precious that you protect with every fiber of your being.

It taught me that God and family are the foundation of everything. Without them, none of the rest matters.

And it taught me the one lesson I think about every single day I walk through the halls of Congress:

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

Ronald Reagan said it first. 

And my friend, I need you to understand — that truth has never been more urgent than it is right now.

I came to Congress because my kids deserve to grow up in a better America than I grew up in — and right now, that's not guaranteed. 

The Democrat Machine isn't sitting on its hands. They are mobilizing with a fury and a level of funding that should terrify every freedom-loving American paying attention. And if we don’t stop it, everything this country was built on is at risk. That’s why I’m coming to you today asking for help. 

Here's what they're doing right now, as you read this:

– Flooding swing districts with millions in vicious attack ads designed to destroy good conservatives

– Saturating every media outlet with coordinated anti-Trump propaganda 24 hours a day

– Weaponizing federal bureaucrats and the Deep State to quietly sabotage our agenda from the inside

– Filing lawsuit after lawsuit to tie our hands and grind our work to a halt

– Running smear campaigns in the press to make America-first values look like extremism

– And quietly building toward a billion-dollar war chest to take back power in the next election

This is not fearmongering. The left has decided they would rather burn this country down than let us save it.

I grew up on that ranch learning that hard work and faith can get you through anything. But even the toughest Texan can't hold the line alone.

I need you standing with me.

Will you take just one minute right now and chip in to help me fight back? Whatever you can give — $10, $25, $50, or more — it goes directly toward pushing back against everything I just described.

Believe me, I'm not someone who finds it easy to ask for support. Texting and emailing you asking for help is the last thing I thought I'd have to do when I ran for Congress.

But I didn't come to Washington to watch a bunch of radical leftists dismantle the great country Rush taught me to be proud of.  

God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

Congressman Brandon Gill
