RNCC's take on the 14th

What the RNCC sent out about the 14th CD race early this am . . .

Businessman Jim Oberweis is well-positioned to keep the 14th District in the GOP column one month from now in the March 8th special election. . .

Oberweis’ pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment, pro-tax cut, pro-growth and anti-wasteful spending positions mirror those of the voters of Illinois’ 14th District. His ability to raise significant sums of money, combined with his access to personal resources, leaves him well positioned for the special general election.
