LeAlan Jones, the Illinois Green Party candidate for US Senate, will be delivering the keynote address to the Illinois Green Party State Convention on August 1, 2010. The address will take place at Loyola University Chicago’s Lakeshore campus in Simpson Hall from 3-4p.m. Simpson Hall is located at the corner of Sheridan Rd. and Winthrop Ave in Rogers Park.
A poll released June 14th shows Mr. Jones with 14% support amongst Illinois voters. This is more than 10 times the support received by the most successful minor party candidate in the 2004 race: Jerry Kohn at 1.3%. This a unique moment in Illinois history as Mr. Jones would be the first minor party senator from Illinois.
With both major parties in Washington stuck at a political impasse, our citizens deserve a third way. The major party candidates in this race have received more coverage for their scandals than their policies. Illinois deserves a senator we can be proud of. As a candidate free of scandal and corporate influence Mr. Jones is ready to be that senator.
