In this episode of Shoot Me Straight, we sit down with Steve Toth, Texas State Representative and current candidate for U.S. Congress, for a wide-ranging, no-nonsense conversation about leadership, character, and the real cost of politics in America.Steve opens up about what pulled him into public service, the realities of navigating the political “swamp,” and why integrity matters more than titles, résumés, or military credentials. We dive deep into border security, government spending, Big Pharma’s influence, veterans’ mental health, faith, family, and the growing disconnect between elected officials and the people they represent.This episode also tackles tough topics head-on — accountability in Congress, the dangers of unchecked power, cultural battles playing out in public schools, and why Steve believes Texas (and America) need leaders willing to stand firm even when it costs them politically.If you’re tired of polished talking points and want a raw, honest discussion about where our country is headed — this is one you don’t want to miss.Watch. Listen.
