“After 10 town halls, I am convinced more than ever that voters want to know that their Congressional Representatives are accountable to them … not to big banks and lobbyists,” states Anderson. “Most of the Republicans I know and have known want the same things as the Democrats I know and have known.
“While we obviously need to cut waste and improve government efficiency, we need to take care that Middle America is not short-changed in the process. We need policies that benefit the greatest number and those with greater needs, not just those with the biggest lobbying budgets.”
A resident of Gurnee, IL, Dennis Anderson is the Democratic candidate for the United States Congress for IL-14, a seat currently held by Republican Randy Hultgren.
Upcoming town hall tour stops include Sycamore, Harvard, Marengo, Sugar Grove, Hampshire and Huntley.
