Rocky Scores Knockout Victory

Press Release

"I am not running to be a congressman. I am running to be your representative, to listen to you, to work for you," said Rocky Raczkowski at tonight's candidate forum sponsored by the Oakland Press.

In the debate, Rocky focused on how the incumbent Democrat, Gary Peters, votes 95 percent of the time with Nancy Pelosi, including support for Obamacare and the failed stimulus. "Oakland County has lost 60,000 jobs. We can't afford another two years of Mr. Peters," said Rocky.

While Gary Peters followed the Washington playbook of attack and avoid his own record, Rocky emphasized his plan to generate jobs, reduce government and protect America.

"How did you vote on Obamacare? How did you vote on the job-killing Cap and Trade? How did you vote on the failed $800 billion stimulus? Gary Peters voted with Nancy Pelosi on these issues and his only claim to independence is being independent of the needs and views of Oakland County families," said Raczkowski.

On issues ranging from immigration to Social Security, Peters parroted the liberal Democrat line, while Rocky drew a clear line in the sand. "Social Security is a sacred trust," said Rocky. "The key to saving Social Security is cutting federal spending so that we can keep that promise to America's seniors. I don't represent the Republican Party or the Democrat Party -- I represent the people of Oakland County."
