The Illinois Conservatives organization is proud to announce their first endorsement for the 2012 elections, Jason Plummer for the 12th Congressional District. Plummer, the 2010 Republican Nominee for Lt Governor, resides in O'Fallon.
Plummer, a small businessman and Intelligence Officer in the Navy Reserves, says he promises to bring common sense values back to Washington, DC when elected.
"We've always had a strong relationship with Jason, the entire leadership board agrees that he fits our group perfectly. We pride ourselves on getting young conservatives engaged in politics and Jason is a prime example of what success looks like for young people in politics," said President of the Illinois Conservatives, Zach Oltmanns.
Plummer was previously endorsed by the Illinois Conservatives when he ran for Lieutenant Governor in 2010. His views match those of the Illinois Conservatives – lower taxes, less spending, pro-life, a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment, and being focused on bringing jobs back to the hardworking taxpayers of Illinois.
Members of the Illinois Conservatives agree, and in getting this endorsement Plummer will get the same type of support that made his Lt. Governor primary a success: grassroots assistance, outreach to younger votes, and additional volunteers to augment his campaign.
“The Illinois Conservatives are very excited about Jason’s candidacy and the opportunity for a strong conservative to be elected to this congressional seat,” said Oltmanns. “Jason’s candidacy has brought promises from the national level to make this seat a top priority this election cycle. We look forward to turning the 12th red with Jason’s team.”
The Illinois Conservatives, a leading conservative grassroots organization in Illinois, believe in conservative ideologies and supports political candidates who share in those beliefs for the betterment of the State of Illinois.
