DODGE CITY — .      Cutting taxes and reducing federal spending will do more to jump-start the national economy than the economic stimulus packages.That's according to Cottonwood Falls resident Rob Wasinger, who is seeking the right to represent Kansas' Big First Congressional District. The winner of the 2010 election will replace Congressman Jerry Moran, who is running for the U.S. Senate currently held by Sen. Sam Brownback. Wasinger told the Globe on Wednesday that he dislikes the idea of offering federal bailouts for major corporations when similar assistance would not be available for small businesses."I think the whole idea that you're too big to fail is just crazy," he said. "If you're too big to fail, then you're just too big."A conservative, Wasinger said he favored a mix of deep tax cuts and business tax incentives to spur economic growth.

Rob Wasinger of Cottonwood Falls is making progress on his 69-county tour of Kansas’ First Congressional District.

Wasinger, a Republican who is running for the seat U.S. Rep. Jerry Moran will vacate officially in 2011, was in Emporia on Wednesday to talk about his background and his qualifications to become a U.S. representative. He filed earlier for the job with the Kansas Secretary of State’s office.

Wasinger has chosen Bill Halvorsen of Elmdale and Dick Friedeman of Great Bend as co-chairmen of the leadership team and Mike Spinden of Cottonwood Falls to head the campaign’s steering committee.
