Devin Gerald Nunes, GOIH /ˈnuːˌnɛs/ (born October 1, 1973), is the U.S. Representative for California's 22nd congressional district, serving since 2003. He serves as chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Nunes' district, numbered as the 21st from 2003 to 2013, is in the San Joaquin Valley and includes most of western Tulare County and much of eastern Fresno County. He is a member of the Republican Party. Nunes is the author of Restoring the Republic, published by WND Books in September 2010. In the same year Time magazine named him one of the "40 under 40" rising stars of American politics—their top forty civic leaders under 40 years old.
Despite repeated calls for an investigation by a select committee into alleged ties between Donald Trump and the Russian government, Nunes has rejected that such a committee is needed. Nunes has said that the House will not engage in a "witch-hunt" and that “at this point, there’s nothing there.”
Nunes was born on October 1, 1973 in Tulare, California, the oldest of two sons born to Anthony and Diane Nunes. His family has operated a farm in Tulare County for three generations. The Nunes family is of Portuguese descent, immigrating from the Azores to California.
