He and his wife Beth have three children.  Besides being active in the community, Bob is the Vice Chair of the Downers Grove Township Republican Organization.

"I am very excited to join Mitt Romney's team here in Illinois because his vision, character and credentials give us the best chance of taking back the White House in November," stated Grogan. "I have three young children which makes me think of our country's future often and it's a future I view with ever increasing concern. I cannot think of a better candidate than Governor Romney to steer the future of our country in the right direction."

"I look forward to working with Bob to get the Romney Delegates and Alternates elected in the Primary Election.," said Rutherford. "Taking part in the process of choosing the Republican nominee and, possibly, the next President of the United States is important to our democratic process."

"As President, Mitt Romney will rebuild the foundations of the American economy on the principles of free enterprise, hard work, and innovation.  He will repeal Obamacare and replace it with market-based reforms that empower states and individuals and reduce health care costs," said Rutherford. "The 'last best hope of Earth' was what Abraham Lincoln called our country. Mitt Romney believes in fulfilling the promise of Lincoln’s words and will defend America abroad in word and in deed."

Illinois’ primary election day is March 20, 2012.
