Channahon, Lemont and Romeoville Lead Widespread Support for Cook
Heading into the final week before the primary, Republican Lieutenant Governor Candidate Dennis Cook continues to pile up the endorsements from top Will County leaders. Among those coming out recently to endorse him are the mayors of Channahon, Lemont and Romeoville, giving Cook widespread support throughout Will County.
“Dennis has the budgetary experience to lead Illinois back to fiscal responsibility,” said Romeoville Mayor John Noak. “Illinois needs fresh faces in state government to lead us out of the abyss.”
“This widespread support throughout Will County shows that Republicans are interested in a change,” said Cook. “I’m excited about these endorsements because these leaders are a barometer of what is going on in their towns.” And what is going on, said Cook, is that citizens are tired of political corruption and budget crises, and they know that he has the right experience at the right time to make a change.
“I’m part of a new leadership in Illinois that is emphasizing the core values that made our party great and that know how to apply those values to the challenges that face Illinois today,” said Cook. “These endorsements from experienced leaders shows that we are getting back to the basics but with new faces to guide the way.”
“Dennis will bring a new level of excitement and enthusiasm we haven’t seen in a number of years to the Lt. Governor office,” said Mayor Noak.
Also endorsing Cook are Will County Republican Party leaders Bill Mayer, DuPage Township Supervisor, and Debbie Militello, Channahon GOP Chairman,Frankfort Township Republican Organization,Lockport Township Republican Organization, and Dupage Township Republican Organization. Additionally Cook has strong support in DuPage and Cook Counties, and has been endorsed by the independent organization Tax Accountability.
Cook, who is President of Consolidated District 230 Board of Education, represents new leadership and a fresh face in the Republican Party. During his time on the Board, three of the District’s high schools have been ranked among some of the top public schools in the nation and fiscally now enjoy a $3 million surplus. This is the 6th consecutive year under Cook that the District has maintained balanced budgets with surpluses.
“I look forward to bringing new leadership, new ideas and a new commitment to the conservative principles that have made the Republican Party the party of Illinois,” Cook said. “As Lt. Governor I will open up the lines of communication between the legislatures and the people. I will fight to reduce taxes, serve as Illinois’ chief jobs creation officer by growing jobs and bringing businesses back to Illinois. I will be the messenger for telling people that Illinois should be the place to bring your business.”
