Rob Cornilles Statement on Scott Brown Election Victory
PORTLAND, Ore. – Rob Cornilles, Republican candidate for Oregon’s
First Congressional District, has issued the following regarding
Scott Brown’s election to the U.S. Senate seat held by the late
Edward M. Kennedy:
"Tuesday’s historic win in Massachusetts for a Republican
Senatorial candidate (the first since 1978) may be viewed as a
statement about big government or oversized bills or deficit
spending. But in the end, it's a reflection of Americans’ views
across the country: End the partisan politics and backroom
dealing, and let’s get on with the business of governing
responsibly!
“I decided to run for Congress because I know Americans – and
Oregonians specifically -- want a more balanced government with
legislators working together to solve our complex problems. They
are asking for new, energetic leaders who hear their voices and
will help them overcome the specter of bigger government, higher
taxes and fewer jobs.
“Like me, Scott believes the recent health care legislation that
was rushed through both the House and Senate is too expensive,
mandates too much government control and actually reduces quality
of service. In a time of record deficits and unemployment (nearly
12 percent in Oregon), this is not something we can afford.
“Since one party alone cannot solve our problems, I call on the
majority leadership to work together with Republicans and
Independents to address the immediate needs of our country: Reform
health care responsibly and reasonably; provide a better
environment for job creation; and get our economy back on track.
"I am eager to roll up my sleeves and take my place at the table
and do the right thing in Congress -- for Republicans,
Independents, Democrats, and all Oregonians.”
Cornilles is a prominent trainer and advisor in the business
industry, having founded Game Face, Inc in 1995. He and Allison,
his wife of 23 years, volunteer in various community causes,
including Boy Scouts of America, local schools, the Good Neighbor
Center, and other organizations centered on developing stronger
youth citizens and leaders. They are also active in the lives of
their three sons.
