Senator Glenn Hegar is a dynamic and strong conservative leader who has helped lead the fight in the Texas Legislature in defense of our personal freedoms, for less government, and more personal responsibility.
As the youngest member of the Texas Senate, Glenn Hegar has been a strong and compelling voice in the defense of Texas families and in protecting the traditional values that have made Texas strong. Nothing is more important to Glenn than his faith, family, and his Texas heritage. He is a sixth generation Texan who farms on land that has been in his family since the mid 1800s. Glenn, his wife Dara, and their children Claire, Julia and Jonah, live in Katy, where they attend Crosspoint Community Church.
Senator Hegar serves as the Chairman of the influential Texas Sunset Advisory Commission, Vice Chairman of the Committee on Government Organization and Nominations, in addition to serving as a member of the Committees on Natural Resources, Agriculture & Rural Affairs, and Criminal Justice. Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst's appointment of Senator Hegar as Chairman of the Sunset Advisory Commission made Texas history, marking the first time that a freshman member of the Texas Senate has been named Chairman of the powerful Sunset Advisory Commission. In addition to his other appointments, Senator Hegar is a member of the Environmental Flows Advisory Group and a member of the Legislature's Rural Caucus and the Legislative Sportsman's Caucus.
Senator Hegar is a respected and true conservative, who fights on behalf of Texas taxpayers. He is recognized throughout Texas as a leader who has reduced government inefficiencies, made state government more responsive to his constituents, saved taxpayer dollars, and provided common sense solutions to problems facing everyday Texans.
Glenn has been recognized for his strong, principled stand in defense of our 2nd Amendment rights by being awarded the Doc Brown Legislator of the Year Award by the Texas State Rifle Association. Texans for Lawsuit Reform honored him with their Civil Justice Leadership Award for his work ensuring that Texas retains a world class civil justice system. In recognition of his pro-business voting record, the Texas Association of Business named Glenn as a "Champion for Free Enterprise", its most prestigious award, and the Texas Municipal Police Association gave him their Legislative Excellence Award for his work on behalf of our brave men and women in law enforcement. In prior sessions, he was recognized as Best Legislator and the Rookie of the Year by Capitol Inside, received the Legislative Excellence Award from the Texas Municipal Police Association, Star for Rural Texas Award from the Texas Farm Bureau, and the Perfectly Pro-Life Award from Texas Right to Life.
The most important title that Glenn has ever received is "Daddy." Each and every day, he continues the fight to protect family, including his own as the State Senator of the 18th District of Texas.
