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.

Famous quotes containing the words federal, political and/or career:
“The Federal Constitution has stood the test of more than a hundred years in supplying the powers that have been needed to make the Central Government as strong as it ought to be, and with this movement toward uniform legislation and agreements between the States I do not see why the Constitution may not serve our people always.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
