Beto O’Rourke Bio
Robert Francis O'Rourke, widely known as Beto O'Rourke, is an accomplished American politician who gained prominence through his tenure as the U.S. Representative for Texas's 16th congressional district. He was born in El Paso, Texas, United States, on September 26, 1972.
O'Rourke attended Columbia University, where he studied English literature, before returning to his hometown and becoming involved in local politics. In 2013, he won a seat in the United States House of Representatives, representing Texas's 16th congressional district. Throughout his time in Congress, O'Rourke demonstrated a tireless dedication to his constituents, advocating for issues such as immigration reform, healthcare access, and veterans' rights.
Beyond his legislative achievements, O'Rourke captured national attention during his spirited and high-profile campaign for the U.S. Senate in 2018, ultimately falling short but invigorating a new wave of progressive politics in Texas.
