Upon reports that Holmstead might have been appointed to a high-level position in the Environmental Protection Agency or the First Trump cabinet, The Washington Post'' reported that Holmstead had filed a new, revised lobbying disclosure indicating he had dropped all of his longtime lobbying clients, including Duke Energy, DTE Energy, and Ameren, which he had represented since 2007 in his role with Bracewell.

He and his father served first as missionaries, then as congregants and bishops in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

His father graduated from BYU at the top of his class, after working his way through college managing a farm, shearing sheep, and finishing cement.
