基思·艾伦·塞尔夫(英语:Keith Alan Self,1953年3月20日—)为美国共和党籍政治人物,曾担任县法官,后于2022年在德克萨斯州第三国会选区当选联邦众议员。
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年美国众议院议长选举中,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]

Until the House elects a speaker, there are technically no sitting House members. By long-standing practice, a speaker must be chosen before newly elected members are sworn into office. And the previous Congress’ term ended Jan. 3.

... the 434 members-elect could not decide on a speaker of the House […] Rep.-elect Troy E. Nehls (R-Tex.), a Freedom Caucus guy who is nevertheless voting for Rep.-elect Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) […] The 118th Congress has indeed begun … But the House technically has no members and cannot proceed with the business of the American people.
