Bill Foster to Face Jim Oberweis

(Geneva, IL) – Bill Foster looks forward to facing long-time Republican candidate Jim Oberweis in the race to replace former Speaker Dennis Hastert. The surprising Democratic strength displayed by 14th District voters demonstrates the competitiveness of the upcoming race.

Foster thanked voters late Tuesday night for their help in his victory.

Foster, a former Fermilab scientist and successful businessman, looks forward to the contest as an opportunity to deal with issues voters care about, such as the war in Iraq, the economy, and energy independence.

“From the beginning, I’ve talked about voters responding to my positive message of solving problems. I feel that, after a spirited discussion, voters will choose change,” Foster said.
