Several PAC officers and staff are or were associated with [[Move America Forward]], although Eustis was not.
While at the organization, Eustis was involved in every major initiative. In November 2008, shortly after the presidential election, the PAC created and aired television advertisements in support of former vice presidential nominee [[Sarah Palin]] during Thanksgiving.<ref>Maury Thompson, "[http://poststar.com/app/blogs/?p=11094&cat=259 Argyle GOP activist helping boost Palin profile]," ''The Post-Star'' blog "All Politics is Local," November 12, 2008</ref><ref>Ernest Luning, "[http://coloradoindependent.com/16049/conservative-pac-to-air-thanksgiving-ad-thanking-palin-for-being-palin Conservative PAC to air Thanksgiving ad thanking Palin for being Palin]," ''The Colorado Independent,'' November 24, 2008</ref> In lead up to New York's 20th Congressional District Special Election in March 2009, Our Country Deserves Better PAC spent hundreds of thousands of dollars running televison and radio advertisements in support of Republican New York State Assembly Minority Leader Jim Tedisco against Democrat Scott Murphy for the seat vacated by [[Kirsten Gillibrand]].<ref>Maury Thompson, "[http://poststar.com/app/blogs/?p=18998&cat=259 Ready or not — attack ads are coming]," ''The Post-Star'' blog "All Politics is Local," February 25, 2009</ref><ref>T.J.

Since leaving, Eustis has been an outspoken critic of Our Country Deserves Better PAC for its "[[Tea Party Express]]" national bus tours. According to an interview with ''[[The_Politico|POLITICO]]'', he believes [[Russo Marsh & Rogers|Russo Marsh + Associates]], the Republican political consulting firm behind the organization, is "basically hijacking the movement for their personal and business gains without regard for real tea party activists" and the PAC is "is keeping the firm afloat."<ref>Kenneth P.

The Federal Election Commission conceded defeat on August 19, 2011 and entered into a stipulated judgment that grants the plaintiffs the relief they sought.<ref>[http://www.dbcapitolstrategies.com/files/2011-08-22_Carey_v_FEC_order.pdf Stipulated Order and Consent Judgment], DB Capitol Strategies website, accessed December 15, 2011</ref> The suit was seen as a victory for free speech.
==Possible congressional candidacy==
In June 2011, Eustis was considering a candidacy for New York's 23rd Congressional District.<ref>Brian Amaral, "[http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/article/20110613/NEWS03/306139974 Third man considers race for Congress]," ''Watertown Daily Times,'' June 13, 2011</ref>
''POLITICO'' reported Eustis being the youngest candidate of 2012, as he would not be 25-years-old, the minimum age of assuming office in the House of Representatives, just two months before the 2012 election.<ref>David Catanese, "[http://www.politico.com/blogs/davidcatanese/0611/The_youngest_2012_candidate.html The youngest 2012 candidate]," ''POLITICO,'' June 9, 2011</ref>
Even though the two previous elections faced divisive Republican primaries, which handed electoral victory the Democratic candidate, Eustis claimed that we would not challenge the Republican Party candidate as a third party candidate, likely on the Conservative Party ballot line, if he did not win the Republican nomination during the primary.<ref>Brian Amaral, "[http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/article/20110614/BLOGS13/110619876 Eustis wouldn't pull a Hoffman]," ''Watertown Daily Times,'' June 14, 2011</ref>
Eustis decided against running in July 2011, leaving Matt Doheny, who ran in 2010, to be the likely Republican candidate against Democratic incumbent Representative Bill Owens.<ref>Maury Thompson, "[http://poststar.com/blogs/all_politics_is_local/eustis-rules-out-congressional-run/article_913831ba-a00d-54be-8f50-e74c6928d340.html Eustis rules out Congressional run]," ''The Post-Star'' blog "All Politics Is Local", July 17, 2011</ref><ref>Brian Amaral, "[http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/article/20110716/BLOGS13/110719854 Possible GOP primary challenger bows out of congressional race]," ''Watertown Daily Times,'' June 16, 2011</ref>
