Mayor Claar recently released a public endorsement of Kalnicky, saying, "Bob Kalnicky is exactly the type of leader we need in Springfield that will fight for families and businesses in Bolingbrook and in our district. Bob's commitment to education reform, the protection of senior citizens, and the growth of business are some of the reasons why I've chosen to endorse him to represent Bolingbrook families in Springfield."

Bob Kalnicky has received strong support from local elected leaders, school and county board members, and residents throughout the 98th district. Kalnicky's message of reform and how current leadership such as Madigan and Quinn have failed Illinoisans is resonating with voters.

"I support my fellow Republicans in Springfield, but I'm not running to help them. I'm running to help the struggling families and business owners in Illinois - and they deserve a Representative that will work to reverse the destructive policies implemented by Mike Madigan and his allies in Springfield, not just fall in line with them," said Kalnicky.
