Crashing The Political Party

This week, we're joined by Collin Corbett, an independent candidate for Governor of Illinois. We discuss his decision to leave the Republican Party and run as an independent, his successful effort to get on the ballot in Illinois, why voters continue to support the major parties despite widespread dissatisfaction, and how he's working to change that mindset. We also explore the policies he'd pursue to address Illinois' cost of living, his approach to promoting economic growth, tackling corruption and restoring public trust in state government, and addressing the unique challenges facing Downstate Illinois. Plus, we cover his book recommendations, answer questions submitted by listeners, and much more!
