In addition to our keynote speaker Dan Proft, I have invited Tim Wolfe(conservative Republican candidate) to do a short presentation regarding his campaign to defeat Democrat Jan Schakowsky in the 9th Congressional District. Schakowsky supports Obama on such critical issues as ObamaCare and vetoing the Keystone Pipeline (in her words it would only create 20,000 jobs).  This race is of vital importance since many voters in the Northwest suburbs may be unaware they now fall within the 9th Congressional District. 

  

Dan Proft is an entrepreneur, writer, radio talk show host for WLS in Chicago, director of a non-profit that serves Illinois military families, policy geek for the Illinois Policy Institute, and aspiring basketball coach. Proft earned his BA from Northwestern University and his JD from Loyola University-Chicago School of Law.

Dan is a lifelong Illinois--and more importantly a lifelong conservative--who grew up in Wheaton and now resides in the occupied territory of Chicago. 
 

Dan ran in the Republican primary for Governor in the 2010 election cycle.  While not victorious, Dan came up with some of the more memorable observations of the campaign including his slogan that "Illinois isn't broken. It's fixed."
 

Dan has built a reputation for standing up to political bullies in Illinois, regardless of their party affiliation, who have punished small business owners and families who play by the rules only to get fleeced by a government they finance. 
 

This election cycle, Dan started Liberty Principles PAC, a political action committee formed to support conservative Illinois state legislative candidates.
