John Laesch is running for Congress in Illinois'14th District, a seat recently vacated by former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert. Laesch ran against Hastert in 2006 and received 40.25% of the vote. He has two opponents in the primary: Jotham Stein and Bill Foster.
To help progressives decide which candidate to support in this primary, I asked the Laesch campaign to answer some questions. Hopefully, the other campaigns will respond as well. Go below the fold for John Laesch's answers to the Booman Tribune Open Seat Initiative.
