CORRUPTION FIGHTER ANDY MARTIN ANNOUNCES RACE FOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN POST

(CHICAGO)(May 13, 2008) Illinois Republican reformer Andy Martin announced today, Tuesday, May 13th that he is a candidate for Republican National Committeeman from the State of Illinois.

Martin has faxed his application for the post to Illinois Republican Party headquarters. The position will be filled at the Republican Party’s State Convention in Decatur on June 7th.

“In the past, the National Committeeman’s position has been a source of intense controversy, as well as testimony in the recently concluded Rezko criminal trial,” Martin stated. “I have stayed out of the prior intra-party disputes. But it is now time for the Republican Party to stand for integrity and not for sleazy politics and bipartisan corruption.

“The party’s establishment is backing a retiring official who no doubt wants to use the Committeeman’s post as an accoutrement in a lobbying career. The result would be predictable. Eventually there could be more scandal, more conflicts of interest, more cronyism and eventually more corruption. When will they ever learn? If I am known for anything, it is for being scrupulously honest and an indefatigable corruption fighter. This is what Republicans need in 2008,” Martin stated. “The campaign begins tomorrow.”
