From the United Republican Fund…
WINFIELD, IL – The United Republican Fund (URF) announced today their list of endorsements for the November 2, 2010 election.
The URF has a two-part endorsement process consisting of a candidate questionnaire that covers issues such as budget and taxes, state employment and pensions, education, Medicaid, state courts, state government efficiency, capital contracting, and social regulation. Following the completion of the questionnaire, each candidate is interviewed by a committee of the Board of Directors of the United Republican Fund.
“We’re impressed with the quality of the candidates this election cycle,” said Dennis LaComb, Executive Director of the United Republican Fund. “We’re also pleased that the majority of candidates interviewed were aligned with the URF LIFT principles of limited government, individual rights, free markets, and traditional values.”
“The United Republican Fund has been focused on winning back majorities in the General Assembly in order to have a voice in next year’s re-districting process. It’s time one-party rule ended in Illinois,” said United Republican Fund President Mike Uremovich. “November will determine our state’s future, and our only hope is that serious conservatives are elected to the General Assembly.”
