"My name is John Stefanski. I grew up here in Crowley. I live here. I work here with my family – and I am running for State Representative for District 42. I believe our friends and neighbors, from Scott to Mermentau, deserve a candidate who will promote their values, beliefs, and best interests. It feels like today, more than ever, the people of Acadiana are getting lost in the government machine. Government is becoming so large it’s forgetting the people it represents. Our values are being eroded away as fast as our coastline. Our infrastructure is crumbling. Our farmers are facing more challenges, and our people more taxes. Aggressive taxation plans are strangling our small businesses. We need someone to fight to bring resources and opportunity back to our people - the people of Acadiana.” – John Stefanski
