Personal Narrative: My Congressional Representative Steve Russell

I live in NW Oklahoma City, so my Congressional representative is Steve Russell of the 5th District. He has a wife and five children and was born in Choctaw, OK. He received a MA in History at Command and General Staff College and a BA in Public Speaking at Ouachita Baptist University in 1985. He served in the US Army from 1985-2006 as a lieutenant colonel, he was a military adviser, a political speaker, and a business owner. I am surprised that he could be a US Representative without ever getting a degree in law. Steve Russell receives monetary contributions from groups such as from Bancfirst, Devon Energy, and Majority Cmte PAC. The sectors he receives the most money from are the Single-Issue, Real Estate, and Energy/Natural Resources. What surprises me is that he receives a large amount of money from real estate groups. How this could be the case is that since he is a business owner, he could deal with a lot of real estate companies to expand his business. The industries where Russell receives the most monetary contributions are Leadership PACs, Oil & Gas, and Retired people. I am not surprised that Oil & Gas are one of his biggest supporters because he is a representative in Oklahoma and Oil & Gas is the biggest companies in the state. Steve Russell voting on gun control
