WILLIAM DOCK WALLS AND ED SCANLAN TO ANNOUNCE THEIR CAMPAIGN FOR ILLINOIS GOVERNOR AND LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
Prior to the recent Democrat Primary Ed Scanlan and William Dock Walls each submitted petitions and nomination papers to run for Governor of the State of Illinois. While sparring and debating the issues on the campaign trail, Dock and Ed realized they had a lot in common. Although Scanlan grew up on Chicago’s Southwest side, graduated St. Ignatius, Notre Dame and DePaul Law School and Walls grew up on the Southeast side of town, graduated CVS, Tuskegee University and IIT-Chicago Kent College of Law, both are Fiscally Conservative and Socially Responsive. Neither Walls nor Scanlan are eager to raise taxes or grow government.
Although, neither remained on the Primary Ballot, both Walls and Scanlan remained committed to the implementation of policies sure to improve Illinois. Convinced that together they can make a difference and repair Illinois, Walls and Scanlan have joined forces as Independent Candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor respectively. They combined Walls broad and expansive campaign organization with Scanlan’s vast fundraising potential. Scanlan indicated he will loan the campaign up to one million dollars.
Walls said “Ed and I are committed to the creation of hundreds of thousands of sustainable Private Sector jobs. We have plans to increase the number of manufacturing firms, fully fund education, properly restructure the Illinois Pension, and make our state forever economically viable.
According to Scanlan, “When it comes to wages, operations and pensions, Illinois State Government is way over-priced. We must adopt the best practices, proven in Private industry, and Normalize our overall costs. We must control state spending while maximizing services and providing the assistance people need most.”
“Ed and I know that none of the other candidates have the will, desire or ability to effectively lead Illinois. We must alleviate the current economic crisis. We must create jobs and address the issues affecting safety in our communities.” Said Walls.
Walls and Scanlan have been warmly received and encouraged by voters throughout the entire state. Both are confident people will contribute money to support this campaign. Their goal is to inspire disaffected voters to come out and vote in record numbers.
