Congressman Chet Edwards, Class of ’74, has worked hard for his alma mater in Congress.
With one out of every four jobs in Brazos County tied to Texas A&M or the A&M System, Chet knows that funding for key research projects is vital to the economy of the Brazos Valley and crucial for the University as it seeks to expand its research programs.
As one of only four Aggies in Congress, Chet has used his seniority and seat on the key Appropriations Committee to secure for Texas A&M $48 million more than the Administration requested in 2005.
