Business owner, Rob Cornilles challenges David Wu

ROB CORNILLES TO CHALLENGE DAVID WU IN OREGON’S FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
By Conilles for Congress,

PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon business owner Robert Cornilles has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to challenge David Wu in Oregon’s first Congressional District. “I am not a career politician,” said Cornilles. “I am a business owner, a family man, a mentor and a volunteer. I have strived in my life to selflessly serve others through my work, my faith and my family. As I look around me now and see what’s happening in our country, I feel a need to put aside my personal interests and serve fellow Oregonians in Congress.”

“Today, Oregon families are struggling with one of the weakest economies and the second highest unemployment rate in the United States. Oregonians desperately need a responsible voice in Washington, DC — someone that was born and raised here, lives and works here and recognizes the opportunities that are possible here when you have a fiscally responsible representative in Congress that truly relates with and fights for Oregon’s middle class families. I look forward to contributing to a much brighter future for Oregonians,” Cornilles added.

Oregon’s first Congressional district stretches from Portland to the Oregon Coast and encompasses all of Washington, Yamhill, Columbia and Clatsop counties, and part of Multnomah County.

Cornilles, a graduate of Brigham Young University, is a prominent trainer and advisor for the business community. Cornilles and his wife of 23 years, Allison, are often recognized for their roles as community leaders in various nonprofit activities centered on developing stronger youth citizens and leaders. Rob, Allison and their three sons actively volunteer in various community causes, including numerous schools, youth sports and community associations.
