Ryan Guillen is a 6th generation South Texas rancher and small businessman​ ​who learned the value of hard work while helping his family make ends meet as a ranch hand on the family farm. As a teenager, Ryan survived a major rollover car accident, after having been ejected from the vehicle. Soon thereafter, his mother and step-dad, both school teachers, were tragically killed in a separate car accident. This led Ryan to dedicate his life to serving others.

As our State Representative, Ryan has built a reputation as one of the most responsive and available legislators in the Texas House. He has been a staunch advocate for South Texas and our traditional, common sense values, fighting to cut taxes and red tape that hurt our economy, strengthening schools, supporting our veterans and first responders, securing the border and cracking down on crime to keep our families safe.

Ryan and his wife Dalinda are proud parents of two young daughters, Cinco Demi, and Viva Bonita.
