Trey Gowdy’s Bio
Terri’s husband, Trey, was born Harold Watson “Trey” Gowdy III on 22 August 1964 in Greenville and raised in Spartanburg, South Carolina. He was born to his mother, Novalene, and his father, Harold Watson Gowdy Jr. As a teenager, Trey worked at a local market. He also worked as a delivery boy of Herald-Journal newspapers. After graduating from Spartanburg High School, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in history from Baylor University in 1986. He later received a law degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1989.
Trey began his legal career working as a clerk in the South Carolina Court of Appeals. After clerking for state and federal judges for a few years, he became a federal prosecutor in 1994. He served as a prosecutor for over a decade in the U.S. District Court in South Carolina. From 2011 to 2019, Trey served as the U.S. representative for South Carolina’s fourth congressional district. During that time, he served in several committees, including Judiciary Committee, the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
He rose to prominence after leading investigations into the 2012 Benghazi attack on the U.S. mission that killed a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. However, on 31 January 2018, Trey issued a statement saying that he planned not to go for re-election and retire from the Congress. He said, “Whatever skills I may have are better utilized in a courtroom than in Congress, and I enjoy our justice system more than our political system. As I look back on my career, it is the jobs that both seek and reward fairness that are most rewarding.”
In 2019, he joined Fox News as a contributor. On 12 May 2021, Fox News announced that Gowdy would be hosting a live Sunday news show from early June 2021. Trey is also an author.
