State Treasurer Dan Rutherford is not ashamed to say, Republicans have a problem with inclusiveness. And – he says – if the GOP is to win again in Illinois, that has to change.

Rutherford was the keynote speaker in Kankakee (Sunday) for the annual Lincoln Day Dinner.

It’s no secret, the native of Livingston County is leaning toward a run for governor in 2014. He’s avoiding any formal announcement at this time. But he says no matter who the candidate is “with hard work, we (the Republicans) can earn the right to govern Illinois again.”
