| Description | Businessman and community leader Jason Plummer today announced his candidacy for Illinois’ 12th Congressional District, currently represented by Jerry Costello, who is retiring after 24 years in office. The 12th District is considered a "swing" district and promises to be one of the most watched congressional races in the nation in 2012.
Plummer, who serves in the U.S. Naval Reserves as an intelligence officer, is the Vice President of Corporate Development at R.P. Lumber Company, a family-owned and operated business. In 2010, he was the Republican nominee for Lt. Governor after pulling off a surprise Primary victory, fueled in part by overwhelming grassroots support and a very strong showing in the 12th District.
His campaign will focus on reining in reckless spending, reform of our tax and regulatory structure, and getting government out of the way of small businesses so the U.S. economy can get moving forward again. Plummer said, "Businesses need to be able to get back to doing what they do best – providing stable jobs for hard working people and quality products and services for consumers. The burdens government has put on our small businesses and workers are crushing this economy and putting people out of work." |
