BOB FAUST ANNOUNCES HE WILL BE ON PRIMARY BALLOT

- Secretary of State has certified Faust’s ballot access petition

JOHNSTOWN, Colorado, June 7– Bob Faust, Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives seat of Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, announced that the Colorado Secretary of State has certified his petition to be on the August 10th Republican Primary ballot, concluding that he met the requirement of collecting at least 1,000 valid signatures.

“This is good news for Republicans and the district as a whole,” said Bob Faust. “In collecting signatures and discussing the issues with voters across the district, I have found that the majority of people are disappointed with their representation in Washington and are seeking change. My candidacy will provide them a clear choice in August. Voters can choose to continue down the path of out of control healthcare costs and fiscal irresponsibility, or Republicans can vote for me and I will work to protect our families by ensuring that everyone has access to healthcare and high-quality education, while ending divisive politics and bringing fiscal responsibility back to Washington.”

Faust is campaigning on the issues of healthcare, education, fiscal and personal responsibility and the politics of uniting Americans behind common goals, not dividing them for personal political gain. He believes that the current political climate in Washington is one where legislators are focused more on gaining political power than faithfully representing their constituents. Failing to fulfill their duties, politicians have led us down a path of an exploding federal deficit, which is saddling our children with an enormous debt, and rising healthcare costs, which has led to tens of thousands of newly uninsured children in Colorado. Faust believes that to keep America strong and ensure it continues to grow in the future, Washington must change.

“Washington is far off course and needs to be brought back to the conservative ideal of a limited federal government,” said Faust. “National issues of defense, security, water rights negotiations between the states, and basic necessities of healthcare and education are the issues for Washington to be engaged in. Pork politics and divisiveness are issues in which no one should engage.”

“We can no longer afford to have a representative who is so concerned about what is going on in Massachusetts that she has forgotten about her own district. We are facing serious problems right now that must be resolved, but we also have tremendous opportunities on the horizon that we should not squander.” Faust concluded, “Let’s start working together for a better future.”
