Kenneth Omoruyi is set to be a significant contender on the Primary Run-off Ballot for Harris County this coming May. He marks a monumental moment as the first African American candidate to reach this stage for the esteemed Congressional District 7 seat in Houston – a position once held by political luminaries such as George H.W. Bush and currently occupied by Lizzie Fletcher.
Omoruyi’s journey from his arrival in the United States to becoming the leading candidate in the Super Tuesday vote on March 5 is a narrative of triumph over adversity. As a Bellaire resident and business owner in Fort Bend, Omoruyi has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to hard work and results-driven dedication.
“Emerging from humble beginnings, raised by a devoted single mother, my siblings and I achieved our college education debt-free, instilled with Bible-based values and a deep-seated respect for diligence,” reflects Omoruyi. This foundation has fueled his ambition to serve as a voice for the communities of west Harris and Fort Bend County in Congress.
With a successful campaign reflecting his core message of fiscal responsibility, Omoruyi is focused on addressing the critical economic challenges facing families and businesses. His expertise as a Certified Public Accountant positions him uniquely to tackle the pressing issues of waste, fraud, and financial inefficiency within the government.
Advocating for reduced taxes, diminished governmental constraints, and bolstered entrepreneurial freedom, Omoruyi champions the principles that empower individuals to flourish in their personal and professional lives. His respect for parental rights in medical and educational decisions stands as a cornerstone of his campaign.
A staunch supporter of national defense and veterans' welfare, Omoruyi prioritizes the needs of the veteran community, especially with the proximity of one of the nation's largest VA Hospitals in the Texas Medical Center. His commitment extends to fostering growth within the critical sectors of medical, healthcare, and energy – industries vital to the prosperity of Houston, Texas, and the country at large.
With a platform that upholds American exceptionalism, Texas sovereignty, and the independence of key allies such as Israel, Omoruyi's policy priorities are clear. As early voting commences on May 20th, leading up to the run-off election on May 28th, Omoruyi stands ready to embody the aspirations of his constituents and make a transformative impact on the national stage.
