This just in
Monday, August 13th, 2007 3:52 pmJerry Lack, the longtime aide to former congressman Lane Evans just announced he’s running for the 71st District House seat. That’s Mike Boland’s seat.
Boland has been a target for years, some times as much by parts of the Rock Island County Democratic Party (led by the Jacobs family) as by Republicans. Still, he’s always come out on top.
I just talked to Lack, who’s now executive director of the Illowa Construction and Labor Council. He says he hopes to have the Jacobs’ endorsement, but he’s going to run his own positive campaign, on ideas.
Lack says not enough gets done in Springfield, namely the budget stalemate and the failure to pass a capital spending bill.
I’ll have a response from Boland later.
