Welcome


Growing up in Canutillo in El Paso's Upper Valley, I learned a lot about values like hard work, service to our community and country, and the blessings of family and friends. After serving in Vietnam and then for the 26 and half years as an agent and Sector Chief in the United States Border Patrol, I was honored to be elected to represent the people of the 16th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Every day I strive to honor our shared values through my work in Congress. Together, we've accomplished a great deal, and with your help I will continue that record on behalf of our community.
Sincerely,
Sincerely, Congressman Silvestre Reyes
