Busy 2 Weeks!

Cindy and I got out to the Delaware State Fair a few nights last week and it was great! We met some really hard working Delawareans everywhere we went. I also learned that cows are alot larger up close than they are when you pass by them in a field.

We had a great time working the GOP Booth and getting out to talk to people. Everyone we met is concerned with where our state is headed and how much taxes are going to be raised when the General Assembly goes back in session. Funny thing, people have come to expect their taxes to be raised on a regular basis over the past few years. That is not the way our Government was intended to run. We were never intended to fear our lawmakers and unfortunately, that is exactly what we do. We fear what they are going to take and we fear how it will impact our family budgets. We desperately need change!!!

I found myself walking side by side with Representative Walls whom currently holds the 33rd Seat. We had a great talk and I want to repeat, I have great respect for Representative Walls. He and I agree on many things and I told him I want to run my campaign in such a way that win or lose, he and I can sit down to coffee on November 3rd. I don't see myself running AGAINST Representative Walls personally, I am running to take the free spending Democratic majority out of power in Dover! Unfortunately, I need Representative Walls' seat to accomplish that task.

When we were not at the fair, we did some door knocking and put up some signs. If I haven't gotten to you with a sign yet, don't fret, I've got you on my list and I'll get there soon. Working full time and campaigning is much more difficult than I had anticipated but truthfully, it's a good experience and I wouldn't change a thing! I've met great people, shared some great conversations, and had a great time doing it. Praise God for Cindy who works twice as hard as me! She is the epitomy of the saying, "behind every good man there's a great woman".

August 3rd was the Milford Police Annual Night Out. I hope many of you got out to see the great men and women I work with and many of the services the department offers. Although I was working, it appeared a good time was had by all!

The Week in Review

WOW! Last week was a blur, but what an exciting run of events. We did some door knocking, attended Rep. Outten's (R-Harrington) announcement, held the Steve Rust for DE 33rd Kick-Off, and attended the Great Conservative Cookout at Yoders. More on the Yoders event in a future post. For now, here are some photos from my Kick-Off event at the beautiful Sunnybrae Mansion in Milford.

Here I am with Rep. Bobby Outten-R of Harrington.

Lynn McColley, pictured on the right, is the owner of Sunnybrae. He and his wife have done a fantastic job of remodeling the Mansion.

Skip Pikus, my long-time friend, said many kind words about my candidacy and encouraged people to get involved with the campaign.

Michelle Rollins made a surprise stop!

My lovely wife and our youngest daughter were there for encouragement and support!

Thanks to all of my family and friends who put my kick-off together. We enjoyed meeting people and answering questions, and I was told by one party insider, my campaign has gained credibility as my message gets out.

Please come see the Steve Rust for DE 33rd Campaign Staff at the Delaware State Fair on July 26th from 5:00-8:00 PM. If you don't catch me at the booth, look for me on the fair grounds.

One last thing, The "WHISPER" Campaign has started and you may have heard:

1. I am withdrawing to run for Kent County Sheriff

2. I am under investigation for Pornography on the State Computer (my work computer)

Let me assure you that neither is true, I am in the race for the Delaware 33rd, and I have never been, nor am I currently being investigated for any issue involving mis-use of the State Computer. ( Fear of losing an election is an amazing motivator!)

Get the word out that the Political Dirty Tricks of the past don't work anymore. We want something different in Dover in November, we want Steve Rust!
