Randy Hultgren for Congress

Like many Fox Valley residents, as the 2008 election approached, we found ourselves disgusted by the wasteful spending and personal agendas of Democrats and Republicans in Congress. Though we traditionally vote Republican, we crossed the aisle to vote for Bill Foster, who presented himself as a moderate.

Much to our disappointment, Foster has been anything but moderate. Instead, he has consistently voted to support the radical Pelosi/Reid/Obama agenda despite the protestations of many of his constituents, quickly becoming a Washington insider.

Next November, voters in our district have a far better choice in Randy Hultgren. With a background in finance and a record of fiscal responsibility in the state legislature, Randy provides a stark alternative to Foster. Honest, straightforward and clear-thinking, Randy offers common-sense solutions. He intends to take these solutions to Congress, work to restore our rapidly eroding individual freedoms, and stop the spending spree that jeopardizes our children's futures.

Randy has a proven record in the state senate where he has been a leader in the effort to balance the budget, limit government interference in people's lives and encourage entrepreneurship. He has a strong jobs record and has been a champion for free enterprise. We encourage you to read about Randy's common-sense solutions at hultgrenforcongress.com or to attend a meeting where Randy is speaking to voters. We did and were impressed with his candor and desire to hear concerns as well as potential solutions.
