A decorated Navy SEAL who lost his eye in Afghanistan, Crenshaw was one of just a handful of millennial Republicans elected to Congress in 2018, a year that saw record youth momentum on the Democratic side. In his first year in office, Crenshaw has built a sizable social-media following—including more than 1 million Twitter followers—as the right’s leading warrior against what he calls “outrage culture.” Crenshaw’s path is one preferred by many young conservatives: he defends the President’s policies on issues from taxes to immigration—he even live-streamed his ride-along with Border Patrol on Instagram—without supporting his erratic tweets or endorsing his most controversial actions. (Crenshaw strongly criticized Trump’s decision to withdraw troops from Syria, and co-sponsored the bipartisan House resolution opposing the pullout.) He’s also one of the biggest fundraisers in the House, despite still being in his first term: in 2019, he’s collected more than $2.7 million. For those who want a more traditional, hard-right warrior, Crenshaw may be a glimpse at the conservative movement’s future. _—Charlotte Alter_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time-100-next-2019/5718821/dan-crenshaw/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time-100-next-2019/5718821/dan-crenshaw/"},"headline":"Dan Crenshaw","datePublished":"2019-11-12T22:09:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-02T23:33:56.690Z","description":"Find out why U.S. Representative Dan Crenshaw made the 2019 TIME 100 Next list.","url":"https://time.com/collections/time-100-next-2019/5718821/dan-crenshaw/","keywords":["TIME100NEXT19"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt59ff3f8f5597195c/6998cd079fbc7c3af1d9abed/dan-crenshaw-time-100-next.webp?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt59ff3f8f5597195c/6998cd079fbc7c3af1d9abed/dan-crenshaw-time-100-next.webp?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time-100-next-2019/5718821/dan-crenshaw/","name":"Dan Crenshaw"}}]}] ```
