早年生活和教育
基思·塞尔夫于1953年出生在位于费城的一家军事医院,后毕业于位于德克萨斯州 阿马里洛 的塔斯科萨高中。[ 1] [ 2] 之后塞尔夫进入西点军校就读,并于1975年获得了工程学理学学士学位。[ 3] [ 4]
职业生涯
塞尔夫于1975年至1999年间在美国陆军 服役,先后成为游骑兵 以及特种部队 成员,并曾被派遣至卡塔尔 、埃及 、德国 、阿富汗 和比利时 。[ 2] 退役后,塞尔夫又曾在德克萨斯州 科林县 担任县法官。随后,塞尔夫参与了2022年德克萨斯州第三国会选区的联邦众议员选举。虽热他在5月份的初选中得票次于现任议员范·泰勒 位居第二[ 5] ,但由于范·泰勒涉嫌性丑闻而被迫退选,因此塞尔夫最终获得了共和党提名。[ 6] [ 7] 在11月份的决选中,塞尔夫轻松赢得了这一席位并随后于2023年1月3日就任。[ 8]
联邦众议员任内
在2023年美國眾議院議長選舉 中,塞尔夫先是支持吉姆·乔丹 ,后转而支持拜伦·唐纳兹 ,以表达对凯文·麦卡锡 的不满。[ 9] [ 10] [ 11] 塞尔夫曾表示自己喜欢美国众议院的新规,并希望选出能够执行这些新规的人。[ 9] 不过在第12轮投票时,塞尔夫还是把票投给了麦卡锡[ 12] ,是15名改变最初投票的共和党人之一。[ 11] [ 12] 在塞尔夫等人的投票支持下,麦卡锡最终于1月7日当选众议院议长。[ 13] [ 14]
尽管第118届国会本应在1月3日召开,但由于议长选举的缘故,塞尔夫直至1月7日才正式宣誓就职。[ 15] [ 9]
