Federal Political Career
Holowach first ran for a seat in the Canadian House of Commons as a candidate of the Social Credit party in the 1949 federal election. He was defeated by Liberal candidate Albert Frederick Macdonald. Holowach would run against Macdonald again in the 1953 federal election this time defeating him as Macdonald lost 3000 votes from his previous election. Holowach would stand for re-election in the 1957 federal election and would be barely re-elected by just 300 votes over Liberal candidate William Hawrelak. Parliament would be dissolved a year later and Hollowach would run for a third term in the 1958 federal election. He would be defeated by William Skoreyko and not return to federal politics.
