Chicago, IL–(ENEWSPF)– Republican Nominee for Illinois 2nd Congressional District Isaac Hayes released the following statement applauding today’s endorsement by the Southtown Star newspaper.
“I am greatly encouraged by the endorsement of the Southtown Star,” said Hayes. “Its endorsement is a strong vote of confidence to Independents and non-ideological Democrats that I am ready for the job.”
In its endorsement the Southtown star called Hayes, “young, dynamic and thoughtful.” Recognizing that political corruption is a “distraction” to job creation and small business growth, the Southtown Star broke from the status quo and endorsed Hayes who is ready "to hit the ground running in Washington, D.C."
Hayes has received the only two endorsements in the race for Illinois 2nd Congressional District. In April, the Kankakee City News, a Black-owned newspaper, endorsed Hayes, calling him the “change in direction and leadership” the district needed.
The Southtown Star, in endorsing Hayes, will give undecided voters confidence in Hayes’ ability to Represent them in Congress with competent leadership, the statement from Hayes said.
