I think he needs to clearly articulate how important his pro-business platform is, and how detrimental the Gross Receipts Tax would be to businesses in Illinois, which would ultimately result in many job losses as businesses would cross state lines to more business-friendly environments (and those states would welcome them with open arms and incentives).
I think making it clear that Blagojevich and Hoffman are arm-in-arm best friends is important. And let’s not forget his other best friend: Tom Lakin. However, Dwight also needs to maintain a positive message and not harp on the negatives. Make the connection to Lakin & Blagojevich clear, and then move on to issues that are important, so that folks walk away with a positive message.
The state’s finances are a disaster right now, and we need less lawyers and more businessmen who understand fiscal restraint, fiduciary responsibility and have the business smarts and guts to make the appropriate, and sometimes difficult decisions that are in the best interests of tax payers in Illinois. Jay Hoffman is a personal injury lawyer whose sole purpose is to ride Blagojevich’s coattails and advance the governor’s misguided agenda, while also creating friendly environments for his fellow personal injury lawyers. This is bad for business and will ultimately end up in more lost jobs.
If Dwight can effectively articulate this message and focus on what he will do and what positives he’ll bring to the table, he should win this election.

Mr. Kay must to run a positive campaign emphasizing his personal strengths and experience.
Mr. Kay needs to send a clear message to small business owners, doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, banks, and Madison County citizens that he will promote fiscal responsibility by lowering taxes and cutting unnecessary statewide spending.
Traditionally, Republicans have had an uphill battle in Madison County but Mr. Kay has the opportunity to open the door for future Republicans who wish to run for office. After all, people wish for “change” and there is absolutely no reason why it cannot be in the conservative direction.
Good Luck Mr. Kay.
Sincerely,
Patrick King
