A first time Republican candidate has announced for the Illinois 5th District seat. David Ratowitz is a lawyer and businessman originally from Hazel Crest. Ratowitz was a ROTC member and was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army as a Captain of Field Artillery in 1997.
Ratowitz was a resident of New Orleans during the trials of Hurricane Katrina and after his business and home were wiped out by that event built a successful construction company.
In 2007 he relocated back to the Chicago land area and started a law firm in Chicago.
David’s Campaign Website
David’s FaceBook page
David has been politically active in the Chicago area for a number of years, advancing the principles of limited government and individual liberty at every opportunity. He is a member and serves on committees of the Chicago GOP, Chicago Young Republicans and the Republican Jewish Coalition. David is also a leader in the Campaign for Liberty, formerly serving as the organization’s Region 5 Coordinator.
It looks like the FaceBook and Twitter buttons on the website are not yet set up, so check back if you’d like to follow this candidate on those social media services.
Currently the recently elected Mike Quigley (D- Chicago) is the incumbent in this seat. This was Rahm Emanuel’s old seat covering parts of the North Side and west into Schiller Park, Franklin Park, Melrose Park and Northlake.
