On Thursday, July 30, 2009 at 6:00 PM, William Dock Walls, candidate for governor of the State of Illinois, will host a campaign fundraiser. Co-chairs for this campaign kickoff event include Rachel Goodstein Director of the Friends of Meigs Field; Fashion Designer Barbara Bates; Robert Montgomery Director of Development for San Miguel Schools; and Crete Republican Businessman Jeff Patchet.
Walls, who will formally announce his candidacy early August, said, “I’m running because the State of Illinois needs a Governor who understands the importance of economic development. Pat Quinn’s $31 billion dollar Capital Budget program was long on dollars for roadbuilding and woefully short on dollars to aid in the development of business owned by average Illinoians.”
The geographically, socially and racially diverse 100 member fundraising committee projects that this event will raise a minimum of $75,000.00 dollars. The committee which includes Jan Donatelli, former candidate for the 5th Congressional District seat, has plans to raise one million dollars within the next three months.
