Profile Snapshot
A 5th generation Central Texan, Stan Gerdes resides in Smithville, Texas. After high school, Stan made his way to Austin to attend college at The University of Texas, where he met his wife, Samantha, on the first day of class. Prior to Stan’s election to the Texas House, he worked with Governor Rick Perry for over a decade – beginning when he was Governor of Texas, and throughout his time as Secretary of Energy, where they were able to achieve U.S. Energy Independence for the first time in nearly 60 years.
