Bill Foster for Congress

Epandmedia produced four radio ads supporting Democrat Bill Foster’s successful 2008 run against Republican Jim Oberweis in a special election this March to replace former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert as U.S. Representative from Illinois's 14th congressional district. The upset victory put a Democrat in charge of the seat that had been held for over twenty years by Hastert.

Commissioned by Squier Knapp Dunn consultants Keith Kincaid and Jim Mulhall, the ads contrasted Foster’s experience as a businessman who has created jobs, and his advocacy of middle class tax cuts, with Oberweis’s support of failed George W. Bush policies..

Illinois: Open Roads Tolling Summer 2004 (2005 Pollie Award Winner)

Illinois Tollway Authority and Governor Rod Blagojevich needed to inform Chicagoans and Northern Illinois of their “Open Roads” initiative to vastly modernize Illinois’ toll highways. The modernization would replace toll plazas with automatic overhead toll readers such that I-PASS users wouldn’t have to stop to pay tolls. It would end toll plaza bottlenecks and the pollution that result from them, while creating some 250,000 jobs over the ten years it would take to rebuild and expand the roadways. To explain this $5.3 billion capitol plan to the public while the initiative was under review, the Chicago Federation of Labor and the Cook County Building Trades Council commissioned Squier Knapp Dunn and in turn EpandMedia’s Len Epand to craft a 60-second radio ad. Called “Jet—Open Roads Tolling,” the spot resulted in a 71% positive response among those who attended public meetings held by the Authority Board, and the project is now proceeding. Illinois will soon have the most modern tollway in the nation.
