Gill announced he would seek the Republican nomination in Texas' 26th congressional district, seeking to succeed retiring incumbent Michael Burgess.

Enquirer to run for office. He was endorsed by Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Gill won the primary with over 50% of the vote, avoiding a runoff, and won the general election due to the district's strong Republican lean.

Gill stated that "fortifying the border" would be his principal policy objective.
