Biography & Current Office
Background & current office
Matt Van Epps is the Republican U.S. representative for Tennessee’s 7th District and was sworn in on December 4, 2025 after a special election. His official biography describes a West Point education, ten years of active-duty Army aviation service with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, later Tennessee Army National Guard service, and senior Tennessee state-government management roles before Congress.
The House Clerk currently lists Van Epps on Homeland Security and Science, Space, and Technology, including counterterrorism/intelligence, transportation/maritime security and environment subcommittee assignments.
