was named Friday as the Republican candidate in the campaign to succeed .
Shaw replaces Lauren Turelli of Lake Forest on the ballot . He was selected by Republican Party officials within the 58th legislative district according to provisions of state law dealing with candidate withdrawal.
The choice was made by Lake County Republican Chairman Bob Cook along with New Trier Township Committeeman Bill Cadigan and Northfield Township Committeewoman Jill Brickman in part because of Shaw’s efforts building the Republican Party in West Deerfield Township.
“Mark (Shaw) has done a great job reaching out to people and getting them involved in the party,” Cook said. “That’s what representing people is about, reaching out to them and getting them involved.”
When Shaw got the call from Cook Friday night telling him about his selection he had a number of emotions.
“I am thrilled and humbled by the responsibility given to me to carry the Republican campaign message of economic growth and reform against the Democrats heading into the November election,” Shaw said.
Shaw will be running against Democratic candidate . Drury and Shaw are both attorneys. “I look forward to a positive campaign on the issues,” Shaw said.
Cook, Cadigan and Brickman picked Shaw over two other contenders, and Keith Gray of Libertyville. “All three were very good choices,” Cook said. He indicated it was difficult to select among the three.

Madigan and Company have all but destroyed Illinois by their reckless (and borderline criminal) spending on a mishmash of social programs, paybacks to unions and other parasites, and a host of other frivolousness nonsense. We are among the most corrupt states in the Nation, so far in debt it's beginning to look like we can never meet our financial obligations, and Chicago, the largest city in Illinois is becoming known as the "Murder Capitol of The World. And Mr. Russillo wants to focus on what he considers to be crazy rants????

There are many details that are being sorted out but the general consensus is clear. On the Chicago Tribune online editorial there is great dialogue about Mark and he offers 5 steps towards a detailed budget. I suggest you look at this. If you are sincerely concerned with the detail of the budget there are certainly ways to get involved. The organization is always in need of support by organization contributions and professional diligence. Here is the link: http://elections.chicagotribune.com/editorial/mark-l-shaw/
