About
Brad Knott represents North Carolina's 13th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, having been sworn in on January 3, 2025. Before entering Congress, he worked as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina starting in 2016, a position he held until November 2023. He won his 2024 election after advancing through a Republican primary runoff with endorsements from Donald Trump and Americans for Prosperity.
In the 119th Congress, Knott serves on three major committees: Homeland Security, the Judiciary, and Transportation and Infrastructure. His committee assignments reflect a focus on border security, immigration enforcement, and federal law enforcement matters. He sits on the Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement under Homeland Security, the Subcommittees on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance and Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement under the Judiciary Committee, and multiple transportation-related subcommittees.
During his early tenure, Knott has sponsored legislation aligned with his committee work, including the Aviation Supply Chain Safety and Security Digitization Act of 2025, the Tren de Aragua Border Security Threat Assessment Act, and the Punishing Illegal Immigrant Felons Act of 2025. His legislative priorities center on border security, immigration enforcement, and aviation safety.
