I would stress that I would be highly qualified to serve on a committee that would assess the qualifications of those from Illinois who seek positions in the Trump Administration.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chicagoinc/ct-gidwitz-trump-team-1113-chicago-inc-20161111-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nobody expected that Illinois politicos would be at the front of the line for jobs in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration. But when even his top fundraiser in the state, businessman Ron Gidwitz, says it, you know the lines of communication between Chicago and the White House are likely to be slim. “We’ve got a lot of very qualified people, and I think it’s a little early to say,” said Gidwitz, 71. “But we were not on the top-producing team.” It was no surprise that the state went heavily for Hillary Clinton in Tuesday’s election. Given that and the fact he was disavowed by U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk and steadfastly ignored by Gov. Bruce Rauner, not a single Illinoisan is on Trump’s transition team, which will be led by vice-president elect Mike Pence. Gidwitz said he’s yet to speak with Trump since the election and that he doesn’t expect Trump to visit Chicago before the inauguration. “Why would he?,” he asked, adding that the City Council has done itself no favors by stripping Trump of his honorary plaza when “the city has serious budget and crime problems it should be dealing with.” Illinois Republican Party chairman and Cook County Commissioner Tim Schneider agreed that the state’s vote on Tuesday likely didn’t help Illinois Republicans’ cause but said he expected that “President-elect Trump will pick the best people for the job, regardless of where they come from.” Like Gidwitz, he declined to name any potential Illinois candidates for cabinet posts in Trump’s administration, though he said the state had a “deep bench” of talent.)
