Congressman Babin was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2014. Representing the 36th District in Texas, his service on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee affords him the opportunity to address the critical ports, highways, rails and pipelines that provide thousands of jobs and fuel a hub of economic activity that includes more petrochemical refining facilities than any district in the country.
He was appointed to the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology. Serving as the Ranking Member of the House Subcommittee on Space, Congressman Babin is able to serve as a national leader for America’s space policy matters of NASA and represent the interests of Johnson Space Center also located in the district. As a member of the Subcommittee on Environment, he has helped lead efforts to bring transparency and accountability to the EPA, which has threatened petrochemical and agricultural interests with excessive regulation.
