Jim Purcell Launches Congressional Campaign Website

14th Congressional District candidate also files formal FEC paperwork, Statement of Candidacy

BATAVIA, IL – Jim Purcell, candidate for Congress in Illinois’ 14th Congressional District, announced today the launch of his campaign website at www.purcellforcongress.com. He also officially filed paperwork this week with the Federal Election Commission to form his campaign committee.

Purcell has assembled a strong campaign team of seasoned leaders and professionals needed to win in 2010.

“I am grateful and humbled by the outpouring of support for my campaign from the residents of the 14th Congressional District,” said Purcell. “After traveling the district for several months, I am convinced now is the time for a new class of principled leaders in Washington – leaders who will stand boldly for the values upon which our nation was built.”

While President Obama and the Congressional Democrats have appropriately received their fair share of criticism, Purcell recognizes many Republicans in Congress are also to blame for the state we find our government today.

“Officials in Washington from both political parties have lost touch with the fundamental principles that most Americans live their lives by every day - common sense, fiscal responsibility, and the traditional moral values and respect for individual freedoms that built this nation,” Purcell said.

Purcell will bring a real-world perspective to Washington and utilize his experience as a small business owner to offer a fresh, practical, solutions-oriented perspective to the challenges facing our community and country today.

“Most politicians have neither signed the front of a check nor had to sweat to make a payroll – I have,” said Purcell.
