Tony Peraica Endorses 5th District Challenger David Ratowitz

From the Ratowitz campaign:

“His grassroots campaign is firing on all cylinders, aiming well beyond the February Primary to retake Illinois’ 5th Congressional District for Republicans in November.”

CHICAGO – December 15, 2009 – U.S. House candidate David Ratowitz (IL-5) has received the official endorsement of renowned conservative activist Cook County Commissioner Tony Peraica in his run for the Republican nomination in the February 2 Primary Election. Peraica has released the following remarks:

“David Ratowitz is an assertive, intelligent young leader with strong conservative convictions. His grassroots campaign is firing on all cylinders, aiming well beyond the February Primary to retake Illinois’ 5th Congressional District for Republicans in November. Representatives who legislate within the boundaries of the U.S. Constitution – not according to special interests – are in painfully short supply in Washington, D.C. David understands well that enhancing personal freedom and prosperity means limiting government. I enthusiastically endorse David Ratowitz for U.S. Congress in 2010.”

Ratowitz responded to the vote of confidence, saying, “Tony Peraica has been the standard bearer for conservatism in Cook County for years. More than anyone in else in Illinois government, I have sought to model myself on his principle-centered leadership. I am honored to receive the endorsement of such a high-profile Republican and a true reformer in Cook County, a man who won a majority of the votes in the 5th District when he ran for Cook County board president in 2006.”
