CONGRESSMAN TED POE IS A 6TH GENERATION TEXAN, TED POE LEARNED EARLY THE MEANING OF “GOD AND TEXAS” FROM THE LOVE HIS GRANDMOTHER INSTILLED IN HIM. IN 2004, HE WAS ELECTED TO THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, REPRESENTING THE SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF TEXAS. HIS NO-NONSENSE STYLE MADE HIM A LEADING VOICE IN REDUCING THE SIZE OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND PROMOTING CONSTITUTIONAL AND INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES.
TED POE SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE RESERVES, PRIOR TO SERVING IN CONGRESS. HE TAUGHT HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE CLASSES AND EARNED A LAW DEGREE FROM UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON AND AFTER GRADUATION ACCEPTED A POSITION AS A PROSECUTOR IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. HE SPENT EIGHT YEARS WITH THE HARRIS COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, BECOMING THE CHIEF FELONY PROSECUTOR AND NEVER LOST A JURY TRIAL.
ON THE BENCH, HE GAINED NATIONAL MEDIA ATTENTION FOR HIS CREATIVE SENTENCING FOR CRIMINALS AND HARD-NOSED APPROACH TO ENFORCING THE LAW. HIS “POETIC JUSTICE”, AS THE MEDIA DESCRIBED JUDGE POE, ORDERED THIEVES TO CARRY SIGNS IN FRONT OF STORES FROM WHICH THEY STOLE. SEX OFFENDERS WERE ORDERED TO PLACE WARNING SIGNS ON THEIR HOMES AFTER SERVING JAIL TIME AND MURDERERS HAD TO PLACE A PHOTO OF THEIR VICTIMS ON THE WALL OF THEIR PRISON CELL TO REMIND THEM OF THEIR CRIME.
AS AN OUTSPOKEN ADVOCATE IN WASHINGTON ON BORDER SECURITY, HE HAS TRAVELED REGULARLY TO THE SOUTHERN BORDER TO MEET DIRECTLY WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND RESIDENTS. HE IS RECOGNIZED NATIONALLY FOR HIS EFFORTS TO SECURE THE BORDERS AND ESTABLISH A PLAN FOR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE. CONGRESSMAN POE IS A STRONG CONSTITUTIONALIST AND FIRMLY BELIEVES IN THE PRINCIPLE OF “WE THE PEOPLE” AND NOT “WE THE SUBJECTS”.
