November 2006
We are very proud of the clean campaigns run by the ILGP
candidates.
ILGP gubernatorial candidate Rich Whitney received 10+% of the vote in November
2006,
and as a result the ILGP is considered to be an "established party" under state
law.
October 10, 2006
The Illinois Green Party successfully navigated the tough Illinois ballot
access laws and
will have candidates on the ballot for the six state constitutional offices:
For Governor, Rich Whitney, of Carbondale
For Lieutenant Governor, Julie Samuels, of Oak Park
For Attorney General, David Black, of Rockford
For Secretary of State, Erika Schafer, of Peoria
For Treasurer, Dan Rodriguez-Schlorff, of Chicago
For Comptroller, Alicia Snyder, of Centralia
The two major party candidates apparently are afraid to debate
Mr. Whitney,
because they have come up with a myriad of excuses to avoid scheduling debates.
The two major party candidates promised a series of 12 debates leading to the
November 7 election,
but they have had only one (at Millikin University in Decatur), and
that really wasn't a debate and they refused to allow Mr. Whitney to join them.

July 2006
The BIG news, of course, is that for the first time,
the Illinois Green Party filed its petition to nominate
a statewide slate of the six constitutional officers:
Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Treasurer,
and Comptroller.
The Democrats have challenged the petition, but the ILGP is confident that its
candidate will be on the November 2006 ballot.
April 2005
Illinois Green Party candidates experienced election successes in the April 2005 Consolidated Election.
