BLOOMINGTON – Bloomington doctor David Gill says he has the cure for the nation’s woes, if voters will give him a chance.
Gill is running for Congress in the 13th Congressional District for a fifth time, this time as an independent. He’s run four times previously as a Democrat, most recently in 2012 when he lost to Republican Rodney Davis.
Gill said in a news release most American citizens have been without a true voice in Washington for far too long with what amounts to a one-party system.
“Neither party serves the well-being of ordinary Americans, we have been abandoned,” Gill said. “Americans recognize this betrayal, and their frustration mounts.”
Davis of Taylorville has served in the 13th district for two terms. The general election will be in November 2016.
