Apr 7th, 2010 by David Anderson
April 7, 2010 – Wilmington, DE: “I congratulate and welcome Michele Rollins into the race as a candidate for Delaware’s seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Her life and business experiences as-well-as her love for Delaware and America will serve Michele well as a candidate and ultimately, as a member of congress.
Michele and I are both fiscal conservatives and advocate common sense solutions to the problems facing our nation. While our positions on these important issues are similar, her personal relationships and resources far surpass mine. Since my goal has always been to insure that a common sense business person represents Delaware instead of a lifelong career politician, I am happy to support Michele and encourage those who supported me to enthusiastically support her.” said Cullis.
“Therefore, as of April 7, 2010 I am ending my campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives. And, although I have decided to step aside in the U.S. House race to insure a Republican victory, my passion for common sense Republican ideals remains undiminished. Indeed, after meeting thousands of Delawareans over the last five months of my campaign, I am more convinced than ever that the common sense approach I advocated for office in Washington DC is just as valid for state office in Dover.
“Therefore, it is with great pride, anticipation and excitement that I announce my intention to seek the Delaware State Senate seat for the 7th Senatorial District. My expected Democrat opponent is a 20 year veteran of the state senate who consistently votes to increase taxes, fees and spending, despite Delaware’s position as the number 2 state for per capita spending in the nation, while private sector job creation sputters.
I eagerly look forward to a full discussion of these and other important state issues in the coming months. A formal campaign kick-off will be announced in the near future.” continued Cullis.
“Fred Cullis has distinguished himself as a fiscal conservative and his message of common sense solutions has resonated up and down the state as he campaigned over the last few months. Together, Fred and I will work to solve the important fiscal issues, heal the economy and create jobs. Therefore, I take great pride in being the first to publically endorse Fred Cullis’ candidacy for the Delaware State Senate’s 7th District seat!” said Michele Rollins.
“My Congressional run afforded me a unique opportunity to meet diverse groups of Delaware citizens who are tired of big government, more taxes, and foolish policies that stifle economic growth and job creation. I look forward to meeting even more Delawareans during this exciting new campaign. Together, we can make a difference!
I am also happy to report that most who served on my congressional campaign committee have enthusiastically signed on to the new effort aimed at the state senate seat. My team worked tirelessly and with great effect during these past months. I am forever grateful to them. This great team coupled with the full force and effort of the Delaware Republican Committee will be a powerful and unstoppable force that I believe will propel me to Dover this November.” concluded Cullis.
