Yes, I have an opinion of Doug Truax. I think that he’s another rich businessman who thinks that he can win a statewide office because he’s rich, although he’s never run for office, like Adam Andrzejewski, Steve Sauerberg, Ron Gidwitz, and Jack Ryan.
I endorse Chad Koppie, and I hope that you’ll help his campaign by volunteering and/or donating. He’s in his second term as a member of the Kane Co. Regional Board of Schools, and he’s been a township trustee and school board member. He’s been a conservative activist for at least 21 years, but I never heard of Truax before last July. Chad is pro-fair tax, pro-spending cuts, pro-life, anti-Obamacare, pro-gun rights, and anti-illegal alien. Please read his site, www.chadkoppieforillinois.com.
I’ve given my 2 cents on Koppie before, I don’t mean to malign a gentleman that you admire but here I go, his potential for victory is 0% in the general (Oberdouche is at least 1%) and maybe 1% in the primary. No resources, no name recognition, he’s cannon fodder, nothing more than a protest vote. We need to do better than that. His long history of third party runs is unproductive, he took 0.41% away from Al Salvi in 1996 as the Taxpayers (Constitution) party nominee. That was a long time ago but WTF? IL conservatives were trying to stop Durbin from reaching the Senate and he was playing mini Perot? Fail.
Anyway, it’s official. Oberweis is in, I’d wager he’ll win the primary if no one else jumps in. And he won a 4 year term in the State Senate so he’ll go back to Springfield after Turbin slaps him around.
