| Congressman Morgan Luttrell is currently serving his first term representing Texas' 8th Congressional District. Texas' 8th District encompasses parts of Montgomery, Walker, Harris, and all of San Jacinto and Polk counties. He serves on three Committees in Congress- House Armed Services Committee, Committee on Homeland Security, and Committee on Veterans' Affairs. Additionally, Congressman Luttrell serves as the Vice Chair of Border Security and Enforcement Subcommittee on the Homeland Security Committee and Chairman of Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs Subcommittee on House Veterans' Affairs Committee.
As a 5th generation Texan raised on a horse ranch, Morgan learned the importance of hard work, discipline, and personal responsibility at an early age. He turned his strong values, deep love for America, and passion for helping others into a career of distinguished service.
After graduating from Willis High School, Morgan earned his bachelors in Psychology from Sam Houston State University. Shortly after graduation, he enlisted in the US Navy.
In 2009, by the grace of God, Morgan survived a deadly helicopter crash that left him with a broken back and a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Determined to get back in the fight with his teammates, Morgan rehabbed, recovered, and returned to the frontline.
Following an honorable 14-year military career, Morgan retired from the Navy in 2014 and applied his personal success and experience to help fellow veterans recover from PTSD and traumatic brain injuries sustained in battle. After achieving an advanced degree in Applied Cognition and Neuroscience at the University of Texas at Dallas, Morgan created an innovative health and wellness platform helping veterans heal from their physical and psychological injuries.
Former Texas Governor and Energy Secretary Rick Perry appointed Morgan to serve as a Special Advisor at the Department of Energy-leading the creation of the Artificial Intelligence and Technologies Office to ensure America continued to outpace Russia and China in the development of machine-learning technology.
Morgan applied his expertise to harness and combine the nation's most powerful computing resources with next-generation AI analytic tools to help solve some of America's most formidable healthcare challenges like cancer, traumatic brain injuries, suicide, and opioid addiction.
In addition to representing Texas' 8th District in Congress, Morgan is a small business owner, husband and father. |
