ongressman Tim Huelskamp was elected to his first term as a U.S. Representative in November 2010. In the
112th Congress he represents Kansas’ First Congressional District, known as the “Big First.” His committee
assignments include Agriculture, Budget, and Veterans.
Congressman Huelskamp was born near and raised on the family farm in Fowler, Kansas.
Pioneered by his grandparents Martin and Clara in 1926, the farm operation includes raising
corn, cattle, wheat, milo, soybeans, and kids. There he learned the value of hard work and
personal responsibility, a strong family life, and the essentials of his Catholic Christian faith.
Following high school, Congressman Huelskamp attended a seminary in Santa Fe, New
Mexico and pursued his bachelor’s degree in social science education at the College of
Santa Fe. While pursuing his undergraduate degree he worked as a budget and legislative
analyst for the State of New Mexico and taught in public and private high schools, all the
while remaining an active volunteer for disadvantaged youth. Congressman Huelskamp has a Ph.D. in Political
Science with a specialization in agriculture policy from The American University in Washington, D.C.
During his time at American University, Congressman Huelskamp met his wife, Angela, and together they were active
in assisting women in crisis pregnancies. Upon graduation, they decided to return home to farm, ranch, and raise a
family in Fowler. Before coming to Congress, he was first elected to the Kansas Senate in 1996, the youngest senator
elected in twenty years. Tim was re-elected by his constituents three times by wide margins – 2000, 2004 and 2008.
LI’s Wednesday Wake-Up Club Breakfast is held the first Wednesday of each month and is an excellent opportunity
for friends of the Institute to meet leading conservative speakers and hear their thoughts on current affairs over good
food and fellowship with conservative friends.
