Bio:

A proud Montanan, Congressman Downing began his career as an educator, spending time at New York University’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences as a research scientist and teacher in NYU’s information technology department before leaving higher education to found a technology startup company that would later merge with Yahoo! Inc.

Following the terror attacks of September 11^th, 2001, Congressman Downing rushed to enlist. He joined the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard, ultimately serving eight years with a Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) squadron, including two tours of duty to Afghanistan. Following his military service, Congressman Downing would return to the private sector, where he founded, among various other ventures and small businesses, a nationwide insurance company in addition to a commercial real estate firm.  

Most recently, Congressman Downing served as Montana State Auditor, where he was tasked with oversight of Montana’s insurance and securities industries. Under Congressman Downing’s leadership, industry thrived, rates stayed low, and consumers were protected, all to the benefit of everyday Montanans. 

In Congress, Troy is one of the newest members of the House Financial Services Committee and the House Committee on Small Business. His extensive business and regulatory experience will prove invaluable as he looks to help House Republicans expand access to capital for rural small businesses, create clear rules of the road for digital assets, support and strengthen Montana community banks, bring back American energy dominance, secure the border, and hold China accountable.
