Pete Sessions (born March 22, 1955) is a politician from the state of Texas.

Sessions was born in Waco, Texas and he graduated from Southwestern University. Sessions worked with Southwestern Bell. In 1991, he finished third in a special election for the House of Representatives. Sessions ran for Congress again in 1994 against John Bryant. Sessions made a tour of the district with a livestock trailer full of horse manure claiming that the Clinton Health Care plan stunk more than the manure. Sessions lost by a 50%-47% margin. In 1996, Sessions was elected to the House of Representatives as a Republican. Sessions faced some close campaigns in 1998 and 2000, but new redistricting placed Sessions in a district that was markedly more Republican. In 2004, Sessions was victorious over fellow Congressman Martin Frost to be the representative of that new district.
