Local U.S. House
Candidate Attempts to Form a Mutualist Party in Illinois
A
new challenger has emerged in the race for U.S. House of
Representatives in Illinois's 10th district.
Lake Bluff native Joseph W. Kopsick, 33, has decided to challenge
Democratic incumbent congressman Brad Schneider.
Kopsick,
a political science graduate of the University of Wisconsin, is
running an independent campaign. He is also attempting to form a
Mutualist Party in Illlinois. Kopsick tells voters that mutualist
economics will help make markets both free and fair at the same time,
and reduce the harmful influence of monopolies.
According
to Kopsick, “The federal government should manage only money, mail,
and military, until we know that it is capable of doing other things
competently.” Kopsick wants health, environment, and land issues to
be dealt with as locally as possible.
Mr.
Kopsick plans to bring his campaign to public libraries and other
locations throughout Illinois's 10th congressional
district, which encompasses most of Lake County and parts of Cook
County.
Kopsick
must collect 1,210 signatures by August 7th in
order to get on the ballot as a Mutualist candidate. If he does not
reach that threshold, voters will still be able to write his name in
the write-in space in the general election on November 3rd.
Members
of the press wishing to contact Kopsick's campaign can reach out to
the candidate via email at jwkopsick@gmail.com or via phone
at 608-417-9395.
