Ed Rutledge

Candidate for: Lt, Governor of the State of Illinois

Personal Bio: Ed was raised in Chicago�s western suburbs, lives in Chicago, and has deep family roots near Springfield. While he has lived and worked throughout the United States and Europe, he has always made his way back to his home state of Illinois. He and his wife, Casey, have two beautiful daughters and one rambunctious bird dog.

Qualifications: After graduating from Miami University with degrees in Finance, German, and International Business, Ed�s career has led him into progressively more challenging and rewarding endeavors. He was responsible for coordinating global business development activities for a large investment company, he has reorganized the corporate structure of several prominent financial services companies, and he has secured the financing needed to complete industrial real estate projects which support hundreds of permanent jobs in Illinois and which generate millions of dollars in tax revenue each year. He has consistently found and implemented techniques which make organizations more effective and efficient.

Ed was the Secretary of the Libertarian Party of Chicago for a year before being elected to be that Chapter's Chair, a post he has held for the past two years. Ed is an Eagle Scout, and is a member of the Sons of the American Revolution and Mensa.

Why Running: Ed is running to reduce the size, the power, and the cost of government, to let citizens keep more of what they earn and manage their own lives, and to bring prosperity and integrity back to Illinois. He is running to get the weight of government of your back, out of your wallet, and out of your family room. He is running so that his children can inherit a state that is free, peaceful, and prosperous, rather than overbearing, corrupt, and broke.
