Martin Etwop is a proud Christian conservative, born and raised in Uganda during the height of its civil war and HIV epidemic. Despite these challenging circumstances, Martin's parents instilled in him a deep reliance on God as the source of all things, which has stayed with him throughout his life. After serving as a missionary in East Africa, Martin came to the United States in 2006 and has since worked in church planting, education, and the automotive industry, and is currently a licensed and practicing attorney fighting for and with fellow Texans against government overreach and against individuals using lawfare to intimidate people from freely exercising their rights as Americans.
"As your Congressman, I will use every ounce of energy and ability in my power to defend our foundations and protect the future of our children as Americans."
Martin is engaged in his community in Montgomery County and neighboring Harris County, attending and speaking at school board and county commissioner meetings on issues that affect his community. He also volunteers at his church, Grace Woodlands. Additionally, Martin is a MUD director for his utilities district. Martin also supports his local Republican political party as a board member of the Montgomery County Pachyderms Club and as a member of the candidates vetting committee of the Montgomery County Republican Party. During election season, he helps the local party at the polling location by passing out voter guides and providing pro-bono legal services to the local party when election laws are being broken.
Martin and Dena have been married since 2009 and have two girls and two boys they strive to raise as God-honoring, nation-loving, responsible citizens of this great United States of America. Martin received his Bachelor of Sciences in Business Administration-International Business from Liberty University and his JD (law degree) from Texas Southern University Thurgood Marshall School of Law.
He is also a strong advocate for organ donation, having personally donated a kidney 17 years ago to save the life of a stranger."I am proud to have been able to make a difference in someone's life through organ donation, and as a Congressman, I will continue to strive to make a positive impact on the lives of others.
“We can only be a great nation when our elected leaders have the humanity to think beyond just themselves and start making a difference in the lives of other Americans. This means that we must stop insider trading by Congress, put an end to congressional representatives becoming millionaires on the backs of hard-working Americans while our citizens struggle to even pay for gas."
