"David Castillo will be a new voice for Washington who will bring fresh ideas and real world experience to Washington, D.C. I know that he will be a tireless advocate and leader for the 3rd Congressional district and for Washington State."
Rob McKenna, Washington State Attorney General
"David's life and career are a testimony to public
service. Whether as a sailor in the Navy, or his service to the
President, David has consistently worked to protect America and its
dream for future generations."
Senator Don Benton (Vancouver)
"I know Washington State and I know Washington D.C. and I can think of no better leader than David Castillo to represent 3rd District values in the nation's capitol. David Castillo understands the value of faith and freedom and in this time of economic recession he knows that small business owners are the heart of American enterprise. We need more men and women of his character and experience to serve in the halls of Congress."
Randy Tate, former U.S. Congressman
"Your public service as Deputy Assistant Secretary at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and at the Department of Homeland Security shows you have the crucial experience needed at a time America faces uncertainty from those who want to do us harm. Keeping in mind that you have served in the U.S. Navy, I know you will bring comfort and empathy for our men and women who are currently in harm's way. Indeed, your education, business experience and public sector service, offers the citizens of the 3rd Congressional District the kind of leadership that is needed in this upcoming election."
Milagros E. Rice, National Committeewoman
Washington State Republican Hispanic Assembly
"I figure if I sit on the sidelines and do nothing, then I get what I deserve. The problem with this line of thinking is that way too much is at stake today as never before that effects my country and my family, particularly my two young grandkids. So, I started looking into potential candidates. ...Today I met my future voice in Washington DC. His name is David Castillo and he is "spot on" what I was looking for. He is intelligent, articulate, and passionate about the issues. ...David is a true conservative with strong family values, strong christian principles and a true patriot to this country."
FrankFrusciante (Ridgefield resident)
(excerpts from email sent by Frank the day he met David)
"The United States Congress needs serious, qualified leaders who will make sound decisions for the American people. David Castillo is this type of leader. His experience and integrity will be a great asset to the residents of the 3rd Congressional District and all of Washington State."
Mike McKay, former United States Attorney
"I have been following David Castillo's campaign progress since he first announced his candidacy for U.S. Representative, which began when he chose to take on Brian Baird as then incumbent. For this reason alone, David impresses me over and above other candidates who appeared recently, when the going became strategically easier -- as a result of Congressman Baird's decision not to seek another term. I want David Castillo in my corner and in the U.S. House, because obviously he is willing to take a bold stand even at times when the opposition is tough and strong."
Janna Lovejoy(Woodland resident)
(From email sent to friends in support of David)
"One point that does bear mentioning, however, is that in addition to displaying a deeper understanding of health care policy, in particular, than many Republicans - and a more overt commitment to advancing conservative health care policy rather than just blocking or undoing liberal reform - Castillo also has some different political heroes from what one typically hears out of Republican congressional candidates."
