What is Bill Foster Trying to Hide?

What is Bill Foster Trying to Hide?

Bill Foster was on CBS Chicago’s “At Issue” on Sunday and Illinois families learned that he deems it appropriate to remain evasive and secretive about the issues that matter to voters.

A prime example of Bill Foster’s secretive behavior came when Kerry Lester asked Foster about his residency. Lester asked Foster on whether or not he lived in Illinois versus rumors that his prime residency is in New York. After blaming Republican organizations, blogs and basically throwing everything but the kitchen sink into his answer, Lester finally asked him to clarify if he owned his “home” in Naperville. This is Bill Foster’s nervous sounding gem of a non-answer:

“Um, it’s a condominium that we live in.. but it’s right down by the river. It’s actually a wonderful home. A wonderful area. It’s near the river walk in downtown Naperville.” – Bill Foster

Yeah, okay but Foster never answered the question. Illinois families want to know, what is Bill Foster trying to hide?

  • Where does Bill Foster live full-time?
  • Does Bill Foster own the condo in Naperville?
  • How long has Bill Foster called Naperville his home before announcing a run for Congress?
  • Why won’t Bill Foster give Illinois families a straight answer on where he lives?

NRCC Statement: “If Bill Foster owns a condo in Naperville and it really is no big deal, why won’t he just say that to voters? His unwillingness to answer the question makes Illinois families fearful that Bill Foster is nothing more than a smoke and mirrors politician.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Katie Prill
