He is an engaging person, active in his community, and committed to improving the lives of those around him. And he’s polling around 9% in this hotly contested race.
The 11th District race is an open seat after the retirement of Jerry Weller, leading to a battle to grab the open seat. The Democratic candidate, Debbie Halvorson, has raised more than 1.7 million dollars, and another 1.4 million dollars in advertising is coming directly from the Democratic Party. (source). The Republican candidate, Martin Ozinga III, has raised 1.1 million dollars. Jason Wallace created a self-imposed fund raising cap at $10,000 (Calling it 10K08), stating “…While other campaigns are raising hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in special interest money we want to let you put your two cents in as a real voter instead of cutting back-room deals with the political machine.”
Wallace’s main campaign issues:
- Veteran Funding and Care
- Renewable and Sustainable Energy
- Restoring Civil Liberties and Rights
- Increased Funding for Public Education
