Mark Newgent

Republican Running for Congress in TXD-3
Texas Tough. America First. Plain and Simple.

Texas First
Fighting for You

Texas families are working harder than ever, yet Washington keeps putting politics and special interests first. That’s not leadership. I'll defend our values, supporting our families, keep our tax money in Texas—not endless games, wars, and overseas.

Affordability

I Understand Your Struggles

Every day, I talk to families who are doing everything right, working hard, raising their kids, trying to plan for the future—and still falling behind. Groceries cost more. Gas costs more. Housing costs more. I understand that struggle because I live it too. I'm running to fight for policies that lower costs, protect paychecks, and put families first instead of D.C. interests.

Why I'm Running: To Fight for You

I didn’t grow up with privilege, I grew up with struggle.

There were times my family lacked electricity, food, and transportation. By 16, I was homeless. I learned early how hard families fight just to get by. At 17, I joined the U.S. Army to serve. Over 20 years, I rose from infantryman to Army Captain, led soldiers around the world, and worked to protect American lives and taxpayer dollars. Service and responsibility shaped who I am.

After retiring, I continued serving as a city and county commissioner, standing up for taxpayers because I know what waste costs families.

Today, I live in McKinney with my wife Tanya and our two children. I’m running for Congress because families are working harder than ever and still falling behind while Washington is out of touch.

I’m running to fight for affordability, secure borders, fiscal responsibility, strong support for veterans, and an

America-First agenda that puts Texas families first.

I’ve lived the struggle. I’ve served with honor.
Now I’m ready to fight for you.

Texas First. Fighting for You.
