A longtime Northern Virginia auto-dealership owner, he served as Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and as U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein before entering Congress in 2015. He serves on the House Ways and Means Committee and the Joint Economic Committee.[1][2][3][4]

Beyer was born in 1950 in the Free Territory of Trieste, the son of a U.S. Army officer, and was raised in Washington, D.C.[3] He graduated from Gonzaga College High School, where he was named a Presidential Scholar, and earned a bachelor's degree from Williams College.[2][36][3] After a summer job at a car dealership in 1974, he spent four decades building his family's auto business in Northern Virginia, which Wikipedia reports he sold to his brother in 2019.[2][3] He was also a co-founder of the Northern Virginia Technology Council.[2][3]

Beyer won the 2014 Democratic primary for the open 8th District seat held by retiring Rep. Jim Moran, then the general election, and has been re-elected five times since.[36][3] In the House he serves on the Committee on Ways and Means and on the Joint Economic Committee, which he chaired in the 117th Congress (2021-2022).[2][36][3] According to his official biography, he and his wife Megan live in Alexandria, Virginia, and he has four children and two grandchildren.[2] During the campaign, he emphasized opposing the Trump administration's tariffs and tax cuts and expanding affordable housing and health coverage.[1] Beyer won the November 3, 2026 general election with 79.5% of the vote to Tony Sabio's 17.8%, according to unofficial results reported by NBC News.[4]
