Rob Rush is running for Congress to restore honesty, compassion, and courage to Georgia’s 14th District. As a proud member of the Gaia Knights Movement, Rob is dedicated to inspiring others to join in the fight for Democracy and Justice.
Born and raised in Plainview, New York, Rob is a second-generation American with Sicilian and Austrian/Hungarian Polish/Ukrainian heritage. His Grandfather worked as a Coal Miner in West Virginia, where his father was raised. His father worked as a bookkeeper for over 40 years for the same company in New York, while his mother was a devoted homemaker. Growing up in a stable and loving family instilled in Rob the values of integrity, hard work, and service.
After obtaining his finance degree from Hofstra University, Rob launched a successful career in sales, eventually founding Hi-Tech Paging Inc. in Atlanta in 1991. With just $5,000 in savings and a $5,000 gift from his father, he transformed it into five thriving locations in Gwinnett County, GA, generating over $1 million in annual sales. However, Rob understands the challenges faced by small business owners, having personally navigated bankruptcy and the demands of starting over.
Rob’s journey has also been one of personal and spiritual growth. Caring for his parents during their final years (2005 - 2018) deepened his understanding of empathy, sacrifice, and family. These experiences have strengthened his commitment to advocate for families, healing, and community. In the political arena, Rob has never backed down from a challenge. In 2007/8, he served as a Virtual Outreach Coordinator for a U.S. Presidential Campaign, where he pioneered online organizing that surpassed larger, better-funded efforts.
Today, as the founder of the Gaia Knights Band and Movement, Rob combines music, activism, and faith in a powerful call for justice and balance against authoritarianism and the influence of billionaires. Now Rob Rush is running for U.S. Congress to fill Marjorie Taylor Greene’s vacated seat for Georgia's 14th Congressional District. He is also motivating others to join the ranks of the Gaia Knights--brave individuals ready to stand up to protect Democracy and run for office themselves.
"This campaign isn’t about me—it’s about you! Your voice. It’s about building a movement of courage and compassion strong enough to heal our nation and restore power to the people." – Rob Rush
