AboutKP George
KP George is the Democratic candidate for Fort Bend County Treasurer.
KP wants to employ his professional skills and life experiences to ensure the transparent, efficient use of tax dollars.
KP grew up in a tiny village in South India which, to date, has no electricity or running water. He began his education learning the local language, walking barefoot across two miles of hilly countryside to get to school. Even as he did his homework in his straw hut by the light of a kerosene lamp and helped his parents farm and raise cattle before and after school, KP dreamed of achieving his greatest goal: coming to the land of opportunity and living the American Dream.
His hard work and stellar grades propelled him out of the poverty of his hometown and to the state university, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree. He arrived in the US in 1993 to work for a financial firm only a few years after he learned English, and has since earned multiple financial certifications and licenses. KP currently owns and operates an independent financial planning practice with 5 other advisors.
Since 1999, KP and his wife Sheeba have raised their three children in Sugar Land, and have been very active in their church and its philanthropic efforts in the Houston area. For the past 7 years, KP has also worked with the less fortunate in South India to help them climb out of poverty through determination and perseverance as he did. KP has also served local Indo-American groups at high levels, worked with the Sugar Land Rotary Club, and is a member of the Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce.
KPbelieves his life experiences—those of hardship and seemingly insurmountable obstacles—and the values he learnt along the way—enterprise and value for hard-earned money—will help him better serve the hardworking people of Fort Bend County. His advanced qualifications in professional finance management will allow him to ensure that his neighbors' taxes are spent in a transparent, efficient, responsible manner.
KP George is very thankful that God has given him the opportunity to live the Dream. Now, he wants to give back to the community and help others do the same by serving as the Fort Bend County Treasurer.
