Suburban businessman kicks off GOP bid for Illinois governor emulating Trump ... [View all]

Gary Rabine, 57, is the third Republican to officially enter the race for governor emulating Trump, hoping to be as effective ‘a leader in Illinois’. He’s a millionaire entrepreneur. He argues soaring property taxes are the state’s No. 1 problem. He even owns his own country club.

He’s a social conservative opposed to abortion. And he’s a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump, calling his four years in office “the strongest job creation administration in the history of my lifetime.” “If I can be sixty to seventy percent that effective as a leader in Illinois, Illinois will be a way better place four or five years from now,” Rabine told the Sun-Times.
