I want to thank all the kind people of Southern Illinois as they have greeted me with open arms during the southern tour. It was a lot of fun and just a pleasure to listen to the important issues affecting the southern part of our state. Even though 350 miles separate Chicago and Carbondale, the most important issues people are talking about are no different whether you are from Northbrook or Marion. It’s about how we can create jobs in Illinois and how we are going to root out public corruption. These are the key issues facing all Illinoisans.

Whether I was talking at SIU law school or doing a TV or radio interview, the subject of the economy and corruption were on the forefront of everyone’s minds. The people of Illinois demand more from our leaders and they deserve it. We need to change the pay to play political machine so that the elected leaders serve the people and not the other way around.

The large gathering at Republican Day at the Duquoin Fair demonstrated that people want different leadership in Illinois. I am proud and honored to serve as a candidate during this crucial juncture in Illinois history, and if elected, I promise to uphold the great responsibility that the people have entrusted me with.
