Kevin Burge enlisted in the Marine Corps at 17, the same week as 9/11, and spent the next decade deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Burge grew up in a working-class family near Los Alamos, New Mexico, later became a defense intelligence officer, and served as a technical advisor in the White House Situation Room during the Biden administration. He's running in TX-24 on a platform of lowering housing and healthcare costs for working families, and often notes that his wife immigrated to the U.S. from Honduras as a child.
Burge’s take on Texas values
Affordable housing is listed as a top campaign priority, and Burge campaigns on an economy that works for 'ordinary working families' rather than corporate interests, consistent with limiting investor-driven price increases. [burgeforcongress.com]
