CHICAGO – Last week, Conservative Party gubernatorial candidate Sam McCann and Libertarian Party candidate Kash Jackson spoke with Fox 32's Mike Flannery about why Illinois voters should vote for them in the November 6th election. 

Sam McCann – a downstate senator wearing a red NRA cap during the interview – argued that Chicago politicians shouldn't run the state. McCann also has received rave reviews, endorsements and recommendations from what establishment Republicans scorn as "one-issue voters" : Illinois Family Action PAC, Illinois Federation for Right to Life PAC and the Lake County Life PAC:

He's visiting churches like Faith Center in Rockford Illinois – reaching out to evangelical voters:

And McCann is running ads daily on Fox News cable network in the Chicago markets. 

How is the campaign funded?  Except for one donor writing a $1000 check, McCann's ads and his efforts are completely funded by PACs affiliated with Local 150 Operating Engineers or the Fight Back Fund – a "corporation" formed by Local 150's officers. 

The Fight Back for a Better Tomorrow is listed as a corporation by McCann – and as a corporation, there's no public accountability for who their donors are. Political Action Committees must reveal their donors.

Still, with the way Governor Rauner completely ignored and dismissed social issue conservatives during his first term, frustrated voters that would normally vote Republican are looking at an alternative like McCann for governor.

And that's exactly what Democrats want to happen – and why perhaps, the donations to McCann's campaign is coming from a corporation that doesn't have to list where the money is coming from. 

Illinois Review has requested on several occasions opportunities to interview Mr. McCann, but he has not found the time or desire to do so. He has, however, had time to do interviews with the National Public Radio, Fox 32 and other local news outlets. We encourage you to seek more information online.
