Who is Gary Gates?
According to Gates’ website, the politician “started by driving trucks but soon found his talent was in buying, renovating and renting homes and apartments.” On January 28, 2020, Gates won the special runoff election for Texas House District 28 by defeating Democrat Elizabeth A Markowitz of Katy, Texas.
Gates’ father, an Air Force pilot, was shot to death by a second wife when the now-politician was just an 18-year-old. As per a Houston Press profile of the politician, Gates and his wife Melissa have two children of their own: Sarah, 17, and Will, 14. But in 1992, after a miscarriage, the couple decided to adopt more children. Cassie, TJ, Andy, Cynthia, George, Marcus, Raquel, Travis, Derodrick, Scott and Alexis are their adoptive children.
