Speaking With The Speaker's Son.  One question, partial answer:

Q: Why do you want to run for Congress?

My goal was to send a Republican to Congress from the 14th congressional district. That's not to say that I dislike Foster, Representative [Bill] Foster [D-IL 14], or have anything bad to say about him personally - that's absolutely not the case, by all counts he's a very nice gentleman, very intelligent - but he doesn't, in my estimation, represent the values of the district on various issues. He's not where the majority of the district is - fiscal issues being first and foremost in my mind. He's voted for many of the spending packages where, as far as I can tell, we have no revenue to back them up.


Hastert basically calls Foster too far left for the district.  See the link for the rest of the interview...
