Plano TX Executive Announces Campaign for US Congress Congressional District 3

PLANO, Texas - Dec. 15, 2015 - PRLog -- Longtime Plano resident and IT executive Michael Filak has announced that he is running for U.S. Congress, Texas Congressional District 3. With family and supporters at his side, Filak officially filed to be placed on the ballot for the Democratic primary election on March 1, 2016. Currently Mr. Filak is a Vice President at Mphasis, an HP company, where he recently completed a multi-year assignment in which he and his family lived in Asia.

“Living overseas has given me a deeper appreciation for our great nation,” stated Filak. “I do not consider myself a politician, but am running because I have witnessed firsthand both here and abroad the devastating effect of policies the GOP are proposing for the U.S.”

According to Filak, his top priorities as a U.S. Congressman will be to: fight poverty and violence at home and overseas; promote rights and equality for women; celebrate the diversity of all people; protect the environment; guarantee that all children and adults have healthcare; reduce economic disparity and re-establish our middle class; enact common sense gun policies; ensure quality public education; and make college tuition economically accessible for all students. “The GOP and our current congressman do not adequately support these critical goals,” Filak commented. “It is my mission to do so.”

A formal campaign kickoff event will be announced shortly.
