From the John Manlove campaign:
Texas is my home and it was my parents home as well. I never left Texas because this is a place where dreams come true if you work hard enough to achieve them.
I believe in hard work and perseverance. I am proud of my accomplishments with my church, my family and my business. I’ve been blessed with Gina, my wife of 37 years, two loving daughters who graduated from Baylor University and now help us in our family business, and with two grandsons.
I can promise you I will work as hard for you as your Congressman, as I did to put myself through college as a musician and substitute teacher, as I did to build my business from a broken down one car garage to a multi-million dollar, award winning marketing firm right here in Texas, as I did as Mayor to balance the budget, reduce crime and freeze taxes on our seniors in one of the largest cities in Texas. I was born here, went to church here, raised my family here, built my business here and will fight for you like only a self-made Texan can.
