| Collapse all
I’m running for Congress because our system is broken. Career politicians and big money dominate, leaving families, seniors, veterans, and small business owners behind. Public service was never meant to be a career; it’s a duty answered with integrity. That’s why I support term limits and refuse all donations — I will owe nothing to lobbyists or special interests, only to the people of NC-5. I bring practical solutions: expanding telehealth and preserving COVID-era capabilities, protecting Social Security and Medicare, capping insulin and essential generics, empowering parents with education choices, and helping small businesses thrive.
I’m committed to accountable, principled leadership. Every vote I cast will ask: Does this help the people of the 5th District? I’m Steve Girard, a husband, professional, and problem solver — running to bring a new voice, new ideas, and real accountability to Washington.- A New Voice for NC-5 I’m running to bring a new voice and new perspective to Congress. Career politicians and big money dominate Washington, leaving our district behind. I will listen, show up, and serve only the people, not lobbyists or special interests. Every vote will ask: Does this help the 5th District?
- Term Limits and Accountability Public service was never meant to be a career. I support term limits to stop career politicians from holding our communities hostage and ensure fresh ideas and leadership. I refuse donations and PAC money, so I answer only to the people of NC-5.
- Practical Solutions for Families I focus on results: creating jobs and expanding affordable housing, expanding telehealth and COVID-era capabilities, protecting Social Security and Medicare, capping insulin and essential generics, supporting small businesses, and giving parents control over education. Real solutions, not political games.
