Brian Babin — Republican Candidate for U.S. House in Texas, 2026

Congressman Brian Babin supports strict immigration enforcement. He voted for H.R. 3219, the Make America Secure Appropriations Act, which funded a border wall to enhance national security. He also co-sponsored the Birthright Citizenship Act, included in the Republican Study Committee’s FY2026 Budget, which aims to restore the rule of law by limiting automatic U.S. citizenship to children born to citizens, lawful permanent residents, or military personnel. Babin believes this legislation closes a loophole that encourages illegal immigration and voted for considering bills related to publishing special interest alien numbers and deporting aliens convicted of DWI.

““America’s citizenship laws must reflect fairness, sovereignty, and respect for the rule of law,” said Congressman Babin. “This legislation closes a dangerous loophole that encourages illegal immigration and exploits one of the most valuable privileges our nation offers. Citizenship should be protected, not abused.” (Congressman Brian Babin, https://babin.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=14289, January 7, 2026)”

Brian Babin voted in favor of the American Health Care Act, which sought to repeal Obamacare, reform Medicaid, and eliminate individual and employer mandate penalties. He also supported the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act. Babin advocates for free-market healthcare solutions and increased funding for rural healthcare, stating that government should not replace the doctor-patient relationship and that $50 billion should be directed to rural America.

“I will work tirelessly to repeal [Obamacare] and replace it with policies that work. It’s destroying jobs, the economy, and causing millions to lose their promised healthcare policies. Government can never replace the doctor-patient relationship. We should replace it with federal tax credits and free market solutions." — Brian Babin, Ballotpedia survey responses”
