IL-14: Treasurer Giannoulias Endorses Democrat Bill Foster for Congress
Foster Best Candidate to Bring About Positive Change
Chicago, IL – Today Illinois State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias endorsed businessman and scientist Bill Foster for Congress to replace retiring former Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert (R-IL-14).
"Bill Foster is a successful businessman and scientist who has a track record of making positive change happen," said Giannoulias.
"There is nothing more important in this election than making sure we get strong Democrats who can fix the broken ways of Washington. Bill has been crystal clear that he wants the troops home from Iraq, and he just doesn't talk about it, he's shown the commitment to elect strong Democrats.
"If you're concerned about ending the war, restoring fiscal sanity, and a more constructive approach on healthcare, Bill is your candidate," he concluded.
Foster was deeply appreciative of earning the support of the newly elected Treasurer who has been extraordinarily successful in bringing a fresh approach to government in Illinois.
"I'm thrilled to have earned the support of a new kind of leader like Treasurer Giannoulias. On issue after issue, he's taken a fresh approach to government and met with tremendous success already. By revitalizing programs like Bright Start and innovating with programs like Green Reward, he has proven that a new generation of leadership is what is needed to make government a force for positive change," said Foster.
"The change Treasurer Giannoulias has brought to Springfield is exactly the kind of change voters want in Washington and as a businessman and scientist, that is what I will do." Foster concluded.
