Stephen Long
I have spent more than 30 years in the oil and gas industry, working alongside people from all walks of life and from around the world. I have lived in the The Woodlands area for 25 years, where I raised three children to adulthood and am currently raising my 14-year-old.

I participated in the American Shale Revolution that helped the United States achieve energy independence, and I have trained and mentored many others throughout the energy industry. My work has brought me into contact with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, giving me a broad understanding of global perspectives.
I am running with a particular focus on addressing the national debt, which I believe is one of the greatest threats to our country’s future. Requiring that a balanced budget be passed—without exceptions—would force departments to make necessary and difficult cuts.

I consider myself a moderate republican and would listen to the constituents of Texas district 8 and pursue policies that would improve their lives.
