November 2006

We are very proud of the clean campaigns run by the ILGP candidates.
ILGP gubernatorial candidate Rich Whitney received 10+% of the vote in November 2006,
and as a result the ILGP is considered to be an "established party" under state law.

October 10, 2006

The Illinois Green Party successfully navigated the tough Illinois ballot access laws and
will have candidates on the ballot for the six state constitutional offices:

For Governor, Rich Whitney, of Carbondale
For Lieutenant Governor, Julie Samuels, of Oak Park
For Attorney General, David Black, of Rockford
For Secretary of State, Erika Schafer, of Peoria
For Treasurer, Dan Rodriguez-Schlorff, of Chicago
For Comptroller, Alicia Snyder, of Centralia

The two major party candidates apparently are afraid to debate Mr. Whitney,
because they have come up with a myriad of excuses to avoid scheduling debates.
The two major party candidates promised a series of 12 debates leading to the November 7 election,
but they have had only one (at Millikin University in Decatur), and
that really wasn't a debate and they refused to allow Mr. Whitney to join them.

July 2006

The BIG news, of course, is that for the first time,
the Illinois Green Party filed its petition to nominate
a statewide slate of the six constitutional officers:
Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Treasurer, and Comptroller.
The Democrats have challenged the petition, but the ILGP is confident that its candidate will be on the November 2006 ballot.

April 2005

Illinois Green Party candidates experienced election successes in the April 2005 Consolidated Election.
