     “Since founding the Illinois Consumer Council in 1970 (http://www.andymartin.com/bio.htm),” Martin stated, “I have been on the cutting edge of consumer action to protect the public. It is an unparalleled more than a third of a century of activism, integrity and public service. No other Republican and no other candidate can run on such an exemplary record. My efforts receive both national recognition and requests for support nationally.

     “Even as I campaign for office and continue to lead an independent news organization that is respected worldwide, I will not forget and we will do our best to continue to serve and protect the ‘little people’ that have been victimized by predatory builders.”
