His father, Anthony Benson worked as a Captain with the Marshall Fire Department and a member of the Harrison County Firefighters Association. His mother, Samantha Benson died in childbirth with Brian's younger brother, Curtis Benson when Brian was only four years old. Brian studied Political Science and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree. Brian worked as a City Councilman of Marshall, where he served for 2 years. While a Councilman, he struggled with alcoholism, a quality he had gained from Texas A&M. It took him several years, and after a "pep-talk" from the Mayor of Marshall, he went to his first AA meeting, and slowly weened himself off, though, it seems to be a shaky peace. After his fight with alcohol, he made strides such as road improvement. Brian Benson met Elayna Truly, a city Councilwoman for Longview. After several years of dating, they were married. At 31, Councilman Benson was encouraged to run against Louie Gohmert for Represenative of District 1 by his wife, who felt that his ways of dealing with politics was needed in Congress. and finally for Dallas before moving on to the larger political stage, replacing Louie Gohmert as Representative of Texas's First Congressional District in 2014, where he succeeded in gaining the office. Other Info: Rep. Benson's border policy is extreme, though would no require a wall. He encourages the end of the U.S Border Patrol, and instead, assigns the National Guard to the issue, using the funds allocated by the Border Patrol. In his opinion, it would strengthen security. While he is naturally very quiet, Benson was very outspoken during the Obama administration's reign, aggressively against Obama's foreign policy and Affordable Care Act.
