Three GOP candidates are looking to change the course of Illinois politics. Wavey Lester, Ashley Hunsaker, and Kevin Schmidt have all answered the call to public service. The trio is looking to unseat the Democratic incumbents in their respective races and prove that it doesn't have to be this way in Illinois. "I wasn't born a Republican, but as I got older I decided to look at the issues and found that my values aligned with Republicans," said Lester.
Lester is running in Illinois' 57th Senate district and has placed a tremendous amount of emphasis on understanding the amount of diversity within that senate district. Hunsaker seeks to represent Illinois' 113th House district and has been working hard to get out and speak to people.
Kevin Schmidt is looking to unseat LaToya Greenwood in Illinois' 114th district. Schmidt leaned into the issue of crime and safety and how that hurts Illinois economically.
The three candidates spent two segments speaking with Annie about their platforms and plan to move Illinois forward and you can find that interview in the audio above or on the podcast.
