Meet Stephen Huey

I’m Stephen Huey, a husband, father of four, small business owner, and proud Rice University graduate. My wife Stephanie and I both went to Rice and are now raising our family right here in Texas’s 18th Congressional District. As a working parent and entrepreneur, I understand the real challenges families face, and I’m committed to fighting for policies that actually work for us, not just for the well-connected.

I spent the early years of my childhood in Texas before my family moved to West Africa, where my parents served as missionaries in Nigeria and Ghana for over 20 years. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for community and service. When I returned to the U.S., I studied computer science at Rice and went on to spend 20+ years creating technology that improves lives, from healthcare startups and energy companies to the nation’s largest bank.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with people from every walk of life. Whether building software or leading teams, I’ve always focused on collaboration, problem-solving, and delivering results. That’s exactly the mindset I’ll bring to Washington.

Beyond work, I’ve always found purpose in giving back. I’ve mentored students at Hogg Middle School, volunteered as a Junior Achievement teacher at Jack Yates High School, and served for over a dozen years on the board of a local child placement agency. I’ve also been part of a local church community for over 20 years, and for many years I have interviewed high school students as a volunteer interviewer on Rice University’s admissions team.

I’m not a career politician. I’m a working American who’s tired of a system that leaves too many families behind. I’m running for Congress to bring a fresh perspective and deliver real change for the 18th District. Together, we can build something better, and I’d be humbled to earn your support.
