“Kirk Dillard has continuously proven his leadership and integrity throughout his tenure in Illinois politics,” Kosel said.

“I know without a doubt that Senator Dillard has what it takes to get Illinois back on the right track.”

Kosel emphasized the importance of growing jobs and lowering the unemployment rate in Illinois.

“Illinois’ economy is in shambles. We need a Governor who can effectively create jobs for the citizens of the state. Senator Dillard has proven himself to be a successful advocate for jobs in Illinois, having sponsored numerous bills that brought businesses and jobs to the state,” Kosel said.

Kosel praised Dillard’s choice for Lt. Governor. “State Representative Jil Tracy has the real world experience to keep and attract businesses in the state. The Tracy family built DOT Foods from scratch, now the nation’s largest food redistribution company, which employs more than 4,000 people nationwide.”

“DOT Foods is a huge employer in the state, providing over 2,000 Illinois residents with jobs.” Kosel said. “I can’t think of anyone better than Jil to help Kirk Dillard bring employment opportunities back to Illinois.”

Kosel emphasized Dillard’s involvement with two successful administrations (former Governors Jim Edgar and Jim Thompson) makes him uniquely qualified for the position.

“Dillard was the Chief of Staff for the last successful administration this state has seen. He knows effectively managing government means living within our means,” said Kosel. “Illinois needs a Governor who will put an end to wasteful spending in the state.”

“Kirk Dillard and Jil Tracy have the experience needed to get Illinois moving the right direction again,” Kosel said. “They are extremely qualified for the job, and I will work to help get them there.”
