Timothy Alan "Tim" Huelskamp (/hjuːlskæmp/; born November 11, 1968) is an American politician and member of the Republican Party who was the U.S. Representative for Kansas's 1st congressional district from 2011 to 2017. Prior to entering Congress, he represented the 38th District of the Kansas Senate from 1997 until 2011. Huelskamp ran for re-election in 2016 but was defeated in the Republican primary.
Huelskamp was born on November 11, 1968 and raised on the Huelskamp family farm in Fowler, Kansas. Pioneered by his grandparents Martin and Clara in 1926, the farm operation includes raising corn, cattle, wheat, milo, and soybeans. He attended elementary and high school in Fowler, where he was a Farm Bureau Youth Leader, a member of St. Anthony’s Parish, and active in both 4-H and Future Farmers of America.
After attending seminary for two years in Santa Fe, Huelskamp continued his education at the College of Santa Fe (now Santa Fe University of Art and Design) and received his B.A. in social science education in 1991. He received his Ph.D. in political science, concentrating in agricultural policy from the American University in 1995.
In 1996, Huelskamp challenged Republican incumbent state senator Marian Reynolds in the primary and won by a landslide margin, taking 62 percent of the vote to Reynolds's 38 percent. The youngest state senator in 20 years, he then won re-election by wide margins in 2000, 2004 and 2008.
