Matt Burden is running for Ill. General Assembly

There is another candidate running for the Illinois General Assembly you should take a look at: Matt Burden, a great patriot, a milblogger at Blackfive, and the editor of The Blog of War: Front-Line Dispatches from Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

From Burden's campaign site:

Dear Friend,

For more than 20 years, I've served my country, fighting to protect and preserve the American freedoms, rights, and values that make this country great.

Now, it's time for me to serve our community and you in a new leadership role. As your State Representative, I will serve you in Springfield with the same honor, integrity, professionalism, and passion as I have done on the battlefield.

The 41st District represents the very best of Illinois. It's why we choose to live here, raise our families here, make our livelihoods here, and fulfill our dreams here. And while our State Government is broken, together, we can rebuild it and restore honor and integrity to the Land of Lincoln.

I'm honored to serve you and am grateful for your support.

Sincerely,

-Matt

Fellow Republican Bob Biggins is the current state rep, he's retiring at the end of his term. The 41st covers parts of Cook and DuPage County. Burden says he is a Reagan Republican.

Go Matt!
