Wozniak Gives up Job to Campaign

Jim Wozniak has decided to gamble "big" on the fall election. Today the candidate for the Illinois House announced he's resigning from his job as an assistant state's attorney in Rock Island County.
He's running as a republican in District 71 which is now represented by democrat Mike Smiddy of Hillsdale.
Wozniak says he gave his two week notice to the state's attorney's office to show he's 100 per cent committed to going to Springfield. 
The 71st district includes parts of Rock Island, Henry, Carroll, and Whiteside counties. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
