By Lila Bryant


It has been a challenging time for Republicans in Illinois as they prepare for the upcoming elections.Since the 2010 elections in Illinois, democrats have dominated various elective posts ranging from that of the governor and to those in the legislature. As Illinois elections 2014 approach new legislative maps have come up which favor democratic contestants. The maps are making it more difficult for Republicans to win back their seats in the House of State and Senate. This has been a challenge that the party has been facing for the last several years.

Despite the rough trail the party has had, they remain focused on the 2014 polls with their the main their target position being governorship. They view their victory in the upcoming polls a significant step in restoring the party popularity and a balance of power. Quinn is the main candidate that the party is expected to field. His supporters believe he will find a solution to unemployment, high credit rating and increasing tax rate once in power.

The Republican has been extremely aggressive in the recent campaigns. The chairperson of the party, Jack Dorgan recently stated that the main aim of the party is to clinch the governorship. He has great confidence in the party and even termed it as the needed economic driver for things to turn around in the state. The question that lingers is whether indeed they will foster development. The chairman has assured the supporters there is no need for worries, they should remain calm and see the state take another direction economically.

As the polls approach there has been increased disagreements among members of the party. The party has not agreed on which candidate among the four vying is best for the position. Republicans have said a lot concerning Quinn and is ability to govern. However political analysts argue that the figure is tireless on the political trail. They say that Quinn is coming loose to major legislative victories.

All the contestants have had to convince the party and public that they will win the elections if nominated. Paul Green a political analyst observes that Quinn had been ranked highly and thus the chances for him to win are high.

Before March 18, the Republican vying candidates had a tough time convincing the supporters of the party that they were the best candidates for the position and would win come November. The candidates were four, namely; Bill Brady, Kirk Dillard, Bruce Rauner and Treasurer Dan Rutherford.

Brady who defeated Quinn in 2010 with more than 30000 votes claimed to be the suitable contestant for the position. Brady says he has experience because he has worked in the same office before. On the other hand Bloomington sees Quinn has a challenge because he has public recognition.

Rutherford was another strong candidate for the seat. He had won in 2010 elections with at least two million votes. He said that he had won in the previous election and he knew the secret to victory even in the coming elections. He termed his leadership has the missing tool for development in the state.The elections will take place simultaneously with those in other states for the senatorial race and to the house of representatives.
