Does Anyone Know Who The Third Congressman to Endorse Trump Was?

Chris Collins of New York was the first Congressman to endorse Donald Trump. Two weeks ago, he and his son were indicted for insider trading. Duncan Hunter was the second Congressman to endorse Trump. Yesterday, he and his wife were indicted for fraudulently misusing campaign funds for personal gain.

Does anyone know who the third Congressman was to endorse Trump? I don't know, either, but he should be shitting his pants.
