Local man looking to unseat Granger

A Parker County man who says he lives in the greatest part of the greatest state in the Union is applying for a job that would require his relocation to Washington, D.C.

Mike Brasovan of Annetta North, is challenging Congresswoman Kay Granger for the Republican nomination for District 12 Representative.

In town recently as part of a campaign swing through the area, Brasovan declared he is the conservative choice in the March 2 primary election.

Citing a lack of leadership within the GOP as a prime reason Democrats currently control Congress, Brasovan said he is intent on defeating incumbent Granger for the Republican slot in November’s election.

“We’ve been out knocking on doors, looking for people to talk to,” Brasovan said. “I want to get my message out. That we, as part of the greatest state in the greatest nation in the world need to lead the way.”

The Parker County resident is hoping to strike a chord as he campaigns to stifle government growth.

“We need to identify actual functions of the federal government and streamline them. That’s the only way we’ll be able to shrink the government to a reasonable size at a reasonable cost.”

Brasovan, an energy contract consultant, lives in Annetta North with his wife and two children.

“I’m running because I couldn’t find anyone else to do this,” he said. “It’s not for the money or the perks. I want my children to have the same chances to succeed as I’ve had.”
