Four time Congressional Candidate runs for 13th district

Four time Democratic Congressional Candidate David Gill says he's tired of the flaws of both Democratic and Republican Parties. His fifth run for Congress will be as an independent.

“Life has been made so difficult for everybody across the political spectrum because of having politicians that are bought and sold by oil companies and drug companies and Wall Street banks.”

Gill says this time he is running as an independent in the 13th district.  In 2012, Gill lost to now Congressman Rodney Davis in a very close race. An independent candidate took support away from Gill. 

Gill says he will do better than that candidate in the next race against Davis, even if a Democrat chooses to run.
