Richard Porter - Defending Americanism

Richard Porter believes this is a moment worth seizing in the shifting landscape of Illinois politics. That's why Porter is passionately testing the waters as a potential Republican candidate for Dick Durbin's U.S. Senate seat.  In this episode, Porter joins Lissa Druss to preach bipartisanship as essential for effective governance. You'll hear how he defines Americanism. Plus, why he's concerned about government's penchant to rule over people, instead of serving their needs.  Richard Porter is a seasoned attorney and former Republican National Committeeman, who served as a senior domestic policy adviser to President George W. Bush.
