 Serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman August Pfluger proudly represents 20 counties in Texas’ 11th Congressional District – the best district in Congress – including Brownwood, Killeen, Llano, Midland, Odessa, and San Angelo.
August currently serves as Chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC), after being elected by his colleagues to lead the largest committee of conservatives on Capitol Hill with a record 190 members. He also serves on the influential House Energy and Commerce Committee and as Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security’s Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence.
In these leadership roles, August is a proven champion for American energy, agriculture, and national security. He is one of the most prolific lawmakers on Capitol Hill, with a record number of bills passing the House this Congress. He also played a key role in securing $13 billion in border reimbursements for states like Texas.
In 2025, August was elected to chair the U.S. Air Force Academy Board of Visitors after being previously appointed by the Speaker of the House to serve as a Board member. As Chairman, he plays a critical role in shaping the next generation of Air Force leaders.
August’s top priority in Congress is fighting for his constituents by bringing Texas values and common sense to Washington and delivering gold-standard constituent services. He was selected as the Congressional Management Foundation’s 2025 Democracy Award winner for Best of Constituent Correspondence and Outreach.
Before his time in Congress, August graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy and served for over two decades as a decorated fighter pilot and squadron commander, flying many combat missions across the Middle East. After 26 years in uniform, August retired as a Colonel from the U.S. Air Force on February 1, 2026.
As a seventh-generation Texan, August grew up in San Angelo, where he lives today with his wife, Camille, and their three daughters. He is a conservative Republican, a proud husband and father, and a devoted follower of Jesus Christ.
