Although Rachel Grubb has never held a public office before, she said she is seeking the 3rd District seat to change the current state of the district.

Grubb, 39, Auburn, announced in March she is seeking the seat.

She said she is a Christian and a lifelong Republican who grew up in Hicksville, Ohio, where she spent most of her life and where her parents currently live.

She said although she has never held a public office, the founding fathers were from their districts and took no pay for what they did and served because they loved their country and freedom.[[In-content Ad]]Grubb said she is not a politician, but is a blue-collar mom who is compelled to step up and make a difference in the 3rd District.

"I don't expect to make much money and am running because I love my country and want it be great again, and I don't think it is at this present time under the current leadership," Grubb said.

Grubb earned a nursing degree in 1994 from Jackson Community College in Michigan and practiced nursing for two years in Michigan.

She is employed as a first-shift supervisor at Group Dekko, a heating products manufacturer in Rome City.

She said a lot of the laws that are being passed affect her, and she said there is a Constitution that has been set up to protect the people and it hasn't been instituted and protected the way it should be.

If she is elected she would like to work on ending the federal reserve, and said she knows it needs to be audited.

"The government is losing trillions of dollars and it is our money," Grubb said.

She said she doesn't think it is the government's place to have anything to do with health care.

"Health care is a service and a good that citizens should purchase, and if the free market was allowed to work, health care costs would not be as high as they are because they would be managed by charity hospitals," Grubb said.

Grubb said Congressman Mark Souder has voted to receive stimulus funds for the 3rd District, but when money is taken from the federal government it entitles them to tell taxpayers exactly what to do with it.

"I don't like how taxpayers are told how to spend the money," Grubb said.

She said she has seen many changes in society brought on by those in government who seem more intent on serving the elite and the globalists than performing their Constitutional duty.

Grubb said if she is elected she hopes to set an example in the district with honesty, integrity and transparency.

She said the present leadership has betrayed the 3rd District with a trend toward socialist legislation.

Grubb said Souder has let himself be led by those who have an agenda, not for the prosperity of the district, but for the advancement of those who help him get re-elected term after term.

Grubb said she did not agree with Souder voting in favor of the Central American Free Trade Agreement and General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade free-trade agreements and said they were not free trade.

"Free trade is free, you don't regulate it and if it is allowed to work it will work," Grubb said.

Grubb said she has campaigned over the summer at parades and fairs in the 3rd District and will continue to campaign.
