Thank you…
Thank you to all my supporters!
Your collective efforts of reaching out to your friends and neighbors and generous contributions to my campaign, provided voters in the 59th state representative district an opportunity to vote for positive change in Springfield. Despite the baseless negative attacks by my opponent, I am proud our team remained on message focusing on the most pressing issues facing our state – a $13 billion deficit, transparency and accountability in government, pension reform and an end to one party rule in Illinois.
Please join my wife Margo and me tonight after 7:00 p.m. to watch election results and celebrate.

Daily Herald Endorses Dan Sugrue
State House, District 59: Sugrue
By Daily Herald Editorial Board
October 14, 2010
In the 59th House District, Democrat Carol Sente of Vernon Hills is facing off against Republican Dan Sugrue of Green Oaks.
Sente was hand-picked to fill a vacancy by Democratic powers, while Sugrue won a primary without GOP party help.
Sente was in a strong position to ask Madigan for more ethics reform because he wants to keep her seat, but she said she focused on a better budget process instead.
She would not say what she thought about caps on leaders when first asked last spring. She later said she favors them in primary and general elections.
Sugrue vows he will not be a rubber stamp. We disagree with Sugrue, a conservative, on most social policy, but he says he will focus on ending deficit spending and unfunded pensions and push for fairer maps and limits on leadership.
Sugrue wins our support.

Chicago Tribune Endorsement
September 30, 2010, Chicago Tribune
“59th District (north suburbs) — You want a candidate who is truly independent? You’ll find it in Dan Sugrue of Green Oaks. He won the Republican primary even though he wasn’t the choice of party leaders. He’s running against Democratic Rep. Carol Sente of Vernon Hills, who was appointed to the seat a year ago. Though Sente has had a good start, Sugrue seems more likely to shake the cobwebs out of the capital. He is endorsed.”

Illinois is facing a financial crisis that effects all of us who live in the state regardless of our political affiliations. We all have a responsibility to elect effective leaders that can meet this difficult challenge with real solutions.
Being an educated voter, I think, is the first step in making sound decisions in November. The following two articles are just a few that speak to the current condition of the state’s budget.

It was a pleasure to be a guest on Tom Roeser program last Sunday which airs on WLS. Below is are a few excerpt of Tom’s blog post about the program. Read the full post here.
“I signed up Sugrue for the show Sunday and hoped he’d do okay. Well, for those who heard it, he did far more than okay. He turned out to be a powerfully good forensic debater at least as good as Creamer who’s been doing this for 40 years. In fact, he’s as good as I have ever seen in the contemporary Republican party…and that includes the late Henry Hyde, Everett Dirksen and the very much alive Mike Huckabee.Now remember, I’m not in the business of consulting candidates and frankly didn’t know Sugrue well until he walked into the studio—so I have no axe to grind in all this. He’s not paying me. I’m just telling you what I think.”
