David Larsen for Congress

My name is David Larsen and I am running for Congress for the same reason most Americans are now active in local, state, and national politics: Barack Obama, Democrats, and liberal Republicans like Leonard Lance are destroying this country and I will not stand by and let it happen. I love our country, revere our Constitution, and I want to ensure that my children and yours have the same opportunity to enjoy liberty, prosperity, and pursue the American Dream as you and I did. I am asking that you send me to Congress to help restore the American Dream.

I grew up in New York, the son of a Norwegian immigrant family who's mother came to America after the liberation of Norway from Nazi Germany during World War II. I attended college at Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri; then returned to New York City to attend CSI (College of Staten Island) where I majored in business administration, management, and biology.

While in college, I founded my own construction and home improvement company. In six years I consolidated that business with my father’s business, Larsen Windows and Doors. Over the ensuing 30-year history of our family business, I was a leader that helped lead the growth of the company my father started into a successful business that helped create and protect hundreds of jobs. I know what it is like when your business is responsible for the livelihood of real people and their families.

As an entrepreneur, I started investing in real estate. With my small business ventures doing well, I moved to New Jersey. I have lived here for 16 years and have raised American quarter horses. I have been married to my lovely wife Donna for almost 30 years and we have three beautiful daughters.

I am Pro-Life, and am a member of NJ Right to Life, and the Family Research Council. I am committed to the protection of 2nd Amendment rights for the individual, and am a member of the NRA and Gun Owners of America. I have been a Conservative member of the Republican Party my entire adult life, and have been active in multiple Republican organizations, and a member of the Heritage Foundation, the Conservative Leadership Caucus, and have held leadership positions with Americans for Prosperity. I have been Chairman of the conservative advocacy organization RightDirection.com in order to grow the conservative movement.

I now want to turn my passion and entrepreneurial skills toward making a difference for the people of New Jersey and the country I love. I believe, like the Founding Fathers, that Congress should be made up of citizen legislators – ordinary people who serve their fellow Americans for a brief time before returning to private life, not career politicians whose livelihoods are based on perpetual re-election to office.

As a Congressman, I will do everything in my power to help restore the American Dream and our nation to the greatness our forebears worked so hard to achieve for us. President Ronald Reagan once said that America is the last, best hope of mankind on Earth, and I intend to ensure that President Reagan’s legacy of liberty and prosperity will endure and not be forgotten.
