| Description | Illinois State Treasurer Dan Rutherford said he will formally announce Sunday that he is running for the Republican nomination for governor.
“We’re going to do it,” he told the Sun-times.
Asked why he was running, Rutherford said, “I’ve reached that stage in my career,” citing his successes in the private sector as an executive for Downers Grove-based ServiceMaster, prior to his entrance into politics.
“I’ve had an enjoyable and I’d say successful ride in the political world,” he said.
Rutherford served in the Illinois House of Representatives from 1993 through 2002, becoming a state senator in 2003. In 2010, he was elected Illinois treasurer.
He said he is in a good position financially to make a bid for the governor’s mansion. |
