There's a new kid on the block running for US Senate. He doesn't hold the title of Doctor, Lawyer, or Indian Chief. He is not the typical "political fat cat" we all love to hate. He is not up to his elbows in money and running for a title.

He is Andrew Castanuela, affectionately known as "Cas". He hails from the True Heart of Texas, Brady. One of six children, Castanuela grew up and joined the USAF (United States Air Force) where he served for 20 years. He is a life time member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, married with six children of his own.

When it comes to helping people, that is what Castanuela is best at. He holds a job with the state working with addicts. "I do have my LCDC (Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor) and have been practicing in the field over 21 years. I spent 20 years doing it in the military before I retired. .. I also have my Associates in Mental Health Services and finishing my BS in Social Psychology. After 43 years I continue to go to school even if it is online so that I can provide a better life for my family." Says Castanuela. (personal email reply) He is also associated with the National Association for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor (NAADAC), Texas Association of Addiction Professionals (TAAP), and the Texas Farm Bureau.

He is an extremely personable man and genuinely friendly. Castanuela is a family man and Proud American. He is running as a Republican and his platform is pro-American.

- To Protect the American People from Out of Control Government Spending.
- The Right to Bare Arms
- To Support Term Limits
- To Support a Flat Tax
- To Support our Troops and Veterans
- To Bring Industrial Jobs Back to Our Country (http://casforsenate.com/index.html )

He brings to the Senate race kindness and understanding for his fellow man, love for his Country, and a background richly rooted in America, family, and honesty.

Castanuela upholds the U.S. Constitution as the basis of his platform and beliefs, in order to preserve and restore what this Nation was founded on. He is quoted from his website as saying, "I solemnly seek your support in sending me to Washington as a true spokesperson of the middle class and authentic representative of Texas. My candidacy is a symbolic representation of how the U.S. Constitution was projected to be empowered by our Founding Fathers. "
