Des Plaines' resident Dan Gott, the Republican candidate for state Senate in District 55, received the endorsement of the Illinois Family-Pac this week.

The endorsement is a key backing for his campaign that the organization says it made in order to support Gott’s conservative stance and promise to bring change to Springfield.

“Dan Gott will bring common sense conservative solutions to Springfield and shake up the career politicians,” Family-Pac’s Director Paul Caprio recently told the North Cook News. “Gott has the character, integrity and ability to play a constructive role in making a real difference for Illinois in the General Assembly.”

Gott attended the Family-Pac’s annual event in Chicago last month, along with several other candidates, where he had the chance to meet with the group’s members and share his message of bringing change this November. He has urged voters throughout his campaign to vote for candidates that are committed to social issues which promote family values.

“It’s an honor and a privilege to be endorsed as a pro-life candidate,” Gott recently told the North Cook News. “Once elected, I will be a dedicated champion to establish legislative agenda to help end abortion. Everyone deserves the right to live."

Family-Pac, founded in 1992, has built a grassroots effort in Illinois to support pro-family and anti-tax issues. According to its website, the group has spent over $1.7 million to help candidates who are pro-family and committed to lower taxes and government.

“Gott will represent the hardworking taxpayers and families of District 55 in attempting to solve the many serious problems now facing the state,” Caprio said.

Gott, is also scheduled to attend the Family-Pac’s Illinois Family Institute Dinner this month where he says he will once again bring his message of family values and the need to break the status quo in Illinois politics.
