 All Press and community members are invited to gather at Wheaton’s Memorial Park bandshell on Friday, August 26th, 2005, for the official announcement of Wheaton College Professor Lindy Scott’s United States Congressional candidacy for the 6th District of Illinois. This historic moment is the beginning of Dr. Scott’s campaign to re-shape the political landscape of American politics at both the local and national levels.

Scott is running as an evangelical Democrat whose desire is “to serve everyone in the 6th District.” Scott stands for fiscal and moral responsibility while approaching social issues through seeking how we can best love and care for our neighbor.

While offering a fresh perspective on the political scene, Scott has also been addressing the issues for many years in his writing and as a professor and pastor in the United States and Latin America. For the past 10 years, Scott has worked as Professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies at Wheaton College and is also currently serving as Director of the Center for Applied Christian Ethics. Additionally, Dr. Scott volunteers and serves on the executive board of the Lydia Ministry which serves neglected children in Chicagoland and empowers women and men to strengthen their families.

Lindy Scott is known as a man of integrity and is running a campaign based on moral principle and conviction. Scott’s grassroots campaign is seeking to mobilize supporters through endorsements on his website which already total 125 prior to his official announcement of candidacy. More information about Dr. Scott including a list of his endorsers can be accessed through his website at www.scottforcongress.net.

Details: The evening will begin at 6:00pm with a jazz band and testimonials by those endorsing Dr. Scott. All press are invited especially to attend at 7:00PM to hear Dr. Scott briefly share his story with a press conference to follow. Music will continue through 8:30 PM.

Illinois’ 6th Congressional District stretches from Wheaton east and north across northeast DuPage County into Cook County.
