Proven Conservative Fighter. Ready to Lead in Washington.
Labeled by The New York Times as “a rising conservative firebrand” and by the Houston Chronicle as “an aggressive champion for conservative causes,” Briscoe Cain has become one of Texas' most unapologetic defenders of conservative principles. A frequent target of the liberal media, Cain remains steadfast in his mission to protect faith, freedom, and Texas families.
Cain is the only Texas House member ever ranked the #1 most conservative legislator for multiple sessions, according to Rice University’s respected, nonpartisan study. As a Member of the Texas Legislature, he leads the charge for limited government, secure borders, election integrity, and protecting life and liberty in the Texas Legislature.
During the 87th Legislative Session, Cain chaired the House Committee on Elections, where he authored the landmark election integrity bill that became a national flashpoint—prompting Democrats to flee the state in an attempt to block it. He also co-authored legislation to ban sanctuary cities, supported a $1.5 billion investment in border wall construction, and helped deliver a $5 billion property tax cut for hardworking Texans.
In the 88th Legislature, Cain served on the House Committee on Agriculture & Livestock, where he helped pass some of the strongest Right to Farm protections in the country. These laws shield farmers and ranchers from nuisance lawsuits—especially from newcomers to rural areas who object to normal farming activity—ensuring agriculture remains a cornerstone of the Texas economy and way of life.
A practicing attorney, Cain has been a forceful defender of religious liberty, protecting pastors from unlawful subpoenas and defending the rights of police officers to pray and read Scripture while on duty. He is also a leading pro-life advocate, exposing Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted baby body parts and defending the undercover journalist who revealed it.
Beyond the legislature, Cain has stood up to the radical left—banned by Twitter for confronting Beto O’Rourke on gun rights, kicked out of the Democrat State Convention for challenging liberal activists, and targeted by BLM protestors at Texas Southern University. He’s been featured on Fox News for exposing anti-conservative indoctrination in Texas classrooms.
A lifelong Texan, Briscoe is married to Bergundi, his wife of 14 years. Together, they are raising five sons—Briscoe, Walker, Crockett, Maverick, and Hockley—all named after Texas counties. Bergundi is deeply involved in Republican politics, serving with the National and Texas Federations of Republican Women and as a precinct chair.
Cain is a graduate of Deer Park public schools, earned his B.A. from the University of Houston–Downtown, and holds a J.D. from South Texas College of Law. He owns and operates The Law Office of Briscoe Cain, PLLC and serves as a Captain in the Texas State Guard. The Cain family worships at Faith Family Church in Baytown.
Since first taking office in 2017, Briscoe Cain has been proud to represent the community where he was raised—and he has never backed down from a fight for Texas values.
