Michael McCaul Biography

Michael McCaul is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on January 14, 1962 in Dallas, Texas, United States. American lawyer and politician Michael Thomas McCaul Sr. was born January 14, 1962 in Dallas. He is currently the U.S. Rep for Texas’s 10th congressional District. He is a Republican Party member and was the Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security in the 113th,114th, and the 115th Congresses. His district extends from Austin to Houston. He was the fifth-wealthiest Congressman as of 2018.

He defeated Ted Ankrum, a Democratic candidate, and Michael Badnarik, a former Libertarian presidential candidate with 55% of votes. McCaul was re-elected in 2008 against Larry Joe Doherty, a Democratic candidate, and Matt Finkel, a Libertarian candidate. The margin of victory was 54 to 43 percent.

On December 11, 2013, McCaul introduced the National Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection Act of 2013 (H.R. 3696; 113th Congress), a bill that would amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to require the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to conduct cybersecurity activities on behalf of the federal government and would codify the role of DHS in preventing and responding to cybersecurity incidents involving the Information Technology (IT) systems of federal civilian agencies and critical infrastructure in the United States. McCaul said that the bill was “an important step toward addressing the cyber threat.” According to McCaul, the bill “establishes a true partnership between DHS and the private sector to ensure the distribution of real-time cyber threat information in order to secure our nation in cyberspace without burdensome mandates or regulations.”

In December 2016, the House Republican Conference voted to appoint McCaul for a third term as the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security Committee. The selection follows McCaul’s recent publication of “A National Strategy to Win the War Against Islamist Terror”, a compilation of more than 100 counterterrorism strategies and recommendations. McCaul says his approach to counterterrorism will aid in integrating the nation’s homeland security policies into the digital age through the implementation of detailed screening of foreign visitors, including immigrants and refugees, by utilizing the latest technologies and intelligence.

In 2004, he ran for the U.S. House of Representatives and won a very crowded Republican primary. He was the only candidate for the seat because it was so Republican-dominated that no Democratic candidate filed.
