Glenview, IL, August 29, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Greg Bedell announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for the 15th District of the Illinois General Assembly, a seat currently held by Democrat John D’Amico. The legal challenge that was brought to keep him off the ballot was dismissed so now residents of the 15th district, whether they are Republican, Democratic or Independent, will finally have a choice in their candidate selection after 10 years without.
When asked for comment Greg said: “The State of Illinois needs a new direction under new leadership. Incumbent Rep. D’Amico is part of the Madigan machine that has driven Illinois to high unemployment, one of the lowest job creation rates in the country and one of the worst financial conditions of any state in the Union. Illinois is in a downward spiral that has to stop. The People of Illinois deserve better.”
Making Illinois better has become the focal point for Mr. Bedell’s campaign. He believes that the road to recovery for Illinois begins with a focus on three priorities:
1) - Protect people’s income and don’t raise taxes
2) -Provide choice for children’s education
3) -Use common sense to serve people’s interest, not special interests
