Bio on Clair Van Steenwyk for US Senate
Van grew up in Bellflower, Ca. in a Loving Christian Family where the values of being responsible for your actions mattered, as he believes most were taught in homes and schools at that time.
Van began his political involvement in 1956 campaign of President Eisenhower by handing out small pocket size Presidents books and has been active to one degree or another ever since. Presently Van and Jean are PCs and State Committeeman.
Van began his working career at the age of 9 and has worked in many industries since. Van entered the food industry in the 1970s where he worked his way up to an Executive Position with several Food Company’s in Ca. His clients in the Food Business were; Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Costco, Kroger, and Albertsons to name a few. He has also had a property development management business and antique businesses.
Van and his wife Jean also operated a Christian Outreach on LA s’ Skid Row, Hollywood Boulevard, while also running a Christian Coffee/Halfway House, with an Outreach to a small village in Mexico. All of this was all done while they both worked full time jobs that supported the work.
Vans’ radio career began in Ca. He’s been on the air since 2004 in Ca., Id., Fl., and now in Phoenix with his Political Talk Show; Crossroads with Van on KXXT 1010am / blogtalkradio.com. He interviews office holders and candidates about issues and provides additional commentary. Van and Jean have sponsored candidate forums through the last election cycle as well as promoted events for others.
Van has been asked to run for office before, but believed that his outreach work and political activity was enough, however when a group of conservatives asked him this year to run for the Open US Senate seat, Van and Jean after thought and prayer decided to come out of retirement to be the Christian Constitutional Republican Candidate for the Office, where Compromising Values isn’t acceptable. I believe it’s time for business practices to be brought to government and All Government must be in compliance with Constitution or dissolve it, whether depts., agencies or laws. We hope you’ll join us in our endeavor to bring Our Republic Back.
