6a00d834515c5469e201bb09f29784970dMcHENRY – Once elected to the U.S. Congress during the Tea Party's 2010 reaction to a Leftist Obama Administration with Democrat majorities in both federal chambers, now-radio talk show host Joe Walsh hasn't backed away from Illinois politics

He's organized a volunteer grassroots movement that supports federal, state, county and local conservatives by knocking on doors, putting up yard signs and gathering petition signatures in key races. 

Walsh's efforts are focused on 35 Illinois races in the March 20th primary and one bid in Wisconsin.

Thus far, Walsh is staying out of any statewide races, including the primary for governor. Conservative insiders report Walsh has contemplated his own independent bid if Rauner emerges as the IL GOP nominee for the November 2018 General Election.

Walsh's radio show on WIND 560 AM is partially funded by conservative funder Richard Uihlein, and some say Uihlein could be a funding source for a Walsh campaign after the primary if conservative State Rep. Jeanne Ives loses to Rauner. In order to run as an independent in November, Walsh must not vote in the IL GOP gubernatorial primary and collect over 10,000 valid signatures.
