STEPHEN TAKACH SHARES HIS THOUGHTS: Why I am the best candidate for U.S. Congress for the 36th Congressional District
by Stephen TakachFor Your Thought Matters Readers
I believe that I am
the better choice for this district, because I have lived here for the past 35
years. I understand the concerns of the people in the district because it is my
home.
I believe that I am
the best choice for this district, because I am not a career politician – I am
a concerned citizen. I never had any
intention of running for public office up until the past few years. I’m a strong believer that knowing a person’s
past greatly helps you to understand who they are.
I spent 13 years in
Liberty, which gave me the perspective of real life in small town east Texas.
That’s where I graduated from High School, started my first business, and lived
during college. After my wife, Holly, and I were married, we made the transition
into the more heavily populated area of Harris County. My residency in Baytown
exposed me to the ever-present struggles that citizens in our area face. My personal life experience has allowed me to
understand the needs of the people, and they can relate to my story. I have spent my life doing what most
Americans strive to do; raise a family, build a home, and find a way to make
ends meet.
I learned the value
of a hard days work as an employee of National Pipe and Tube; I have started
and ran two successful businesses, married my sweetheart, and have two
beautiful children. I have had the opportunity to live the “American
Dream”. As an accountant, I see that the
government has saddled future generations with a mountain of debt and I think
that their future is unclear. Each person in this country now owes the Federal
Government almost $50,000, due to the accumulated debt. This is not right or
fair, and we need to change the course our country is on while we still have
time. I believe that the voters understand this as well as I do.
I am pro-life,
pro-gun, pro smaller government, pro border security, and pro religious
freedom. I have the backbone and viability to let the people’s voice from this
district be distinctly heard. My
background as a financial advisor for Edward Jones has given me personal
insight into how real people deal with the problems created by the government
and the debt crisis. Each day I help my clients create a budget that will help
them with their future plans. I believe that this kind of real world, hands on
experience is what is needed in Congress today.
