It could ultimately prove fitting that Collin Corbett chose to announce the launch of his bid for governor outside the former Arlington Park, the site of many an improbable finish.
The longtime Republican Party political operative filed as an independent candidate Wednesday, saying he has the best chance to beat incumbent Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker. […]
Corbett said he may be running against a billionaire and a millionaire, but he is neither. Corbett is the founder of the political consulting firm Cor Strategies.
“I’m an everyday person, like the Illinoisans that deserve representation,” he said. “We’re still in our starter home. We’re facing the same struggles that everyday Illinoisans are facing.”
* From Corbett’s last podcast…
I’ve spent 20 years and well over a million dollars of my own money trying to fix [the Republican Party] from within, and I have failed, so now I’m going to fix it from outside
I’m not sure I know too many average Joe’s who’ve spent well over a million dollars of their own money trying to fix a political party.
Just sayin…

His campaign for governor will be as successful as his efforts to fix the Republican Party. And I hope for him not as expensive
