By Lila Bryant


It has been a tough time for the republicans in Illinois.Democrat governors and other democratic candidates continue to dominate most elective seats . Illinois elections 2014 are a big opportunity for republicans to clinch back some of these seats and thus determine their future trajectory in the politics of Illinois. However there are new legislative maps that have been developed which seem to favor democratic candidates. This has been a major challenge for Republicans for about a decade now. The maps have made it increasingly difficult for them to win back their seats

These made Illinois Republicans eye more the 2014 elections for their governors. They saw it has an opportunity to ensure balance of power again in Springfield. It was also the quickest step the party could take so as to remain relevant in the country. The party is aiming more on getting governor. Pat Quinn, into the government. The figure on whom responsibility for Illinois will be pinned. They believe he will bring a solution to the increasing taxes, billions of unpaid bills, high rate of unemployment and the high credit rating in the state.

Republican has been aggressive and confident about the polls. Jack Dorgan the chairman of the party has stated categorically that their main target is getting back the governorship. The chairman of the party has consistently been confident the Illinois GOP is a big economic driver that will turn things around. They promise their voters that after voting them in they will be amazed at development that will take place in the state.

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 claimed to have experience in the office. He had defeated Quinn with more than thirty thousand votes during the 2010 elections. Brady argues that he has sat in the office before hence he is in a better position to drive development. Bloomington saw Quinn has a strong opponent because he has already gained public recognition.

Rutherford of Chenoa states he has made it before and he will win again. He is among the few candidates who have won statewide; he received more than two million votes in previous election where he won the position of state treasurer. He refers to his service in Illinois Senate and House as the leadership that is required to turn the state around.
