Republicans in Illinois have had a rough time. Before the Illinois elections 2014, democrats had ruled the office of the governor and all offices of the legislature. When 2014 elections were almost new legislature maps were drawn that favored democratic candidates. The new legislative maps made it increasingly difficult for Republicans to get back their positions in the Senate or state House for more than a decade.
These made Illinois Republicans eye more the 2014 elections for their governors. They saw it has an opportunity to ensure balance of power again in Springfield. It was also the quickest step the party could take so as to remain relevant in the country. The party is aiming more on getting governor. Pat Quinn, into the government. The figure on whom responsibility for Illinois will be pinned. They believe he will bring a solution to the increasing taxes, billions of unpaid bills, high rate of unemployment and the high credit rating in the state.
The republican has been very aggressive in the campaigns making him and the party popular in the public eye. Its chairman, Jack Dorgan says their singular aim is to win. He terms the party as the economic driver to a developed state that has been lacking. He said their target seat is the governorship. Despite the fact that the public is not fully convinced if the party will implement its policies, it has already made itself visible to the public eye which is a big step.
As the polls approach there has been increased disagreements among members of the party. The party has not agreed on which candidate among the four vying is best for the position. Republicans have said a lot concerning Quinn and is ability to govern. However political analysts argue that the figure is tireless on the political trail. They say that Quinn is coming loose to major legislative victories.
The party nominations have created a lot of tension. It has been extremely difficult to predict who could be the outright winner. Paul Green an analyst, director and professor of the University of Politics in Roosevelt states that Quinn has consistently ranked highly in campaigns and hence has a high probability of getting the position.
As March 18th drew near the vying candidates in the Republican party had to appear before the public and propound their ideologies. This was supposed to help the party gauge which candidate would be best for nomination. The vying candidates included; Bruce Rauner, Kirk Dillard, Bill Brady and Treasurer Dan Rutherford.
Brady who beat Quinn with about thirty thousand votes in 2010 claims to be the best candidate for the seat because he has the experience of the same position. Bloomington a businessman views Quinn as the most vulnerable contestant because he has recognition in the public which is an important tool for one to win statewide.
Rutherford of Chenoa states he has made it before and he will win again. He is among the few candidates who have won statewide; he received more than two million votes in previous election where he won the position of state treasurer. He refers to his service in Illinois Senate and House as the leadership that is required to turn the state around.
