He's the president of his own business, but candidate Robert Dold got a boost from his former boss Thursday in the campaign for the Republican nomination in the 10th Congressional District.
Dan Quayle, an Indiana legislator who was elected to Congress at age 29 and ascended to the White House as the 44th Vice President in the original Bush administration, stumped for Dold at a Northbrook restaurant.
Dold, one of five GOP candidates in the Feb. 2 primary, worked as an advance man for Quayle in the early 1990s.
"I've watched him develop over the years," said Quayle, 63, who stopped between flights from New York to Phoenix for the fundraiser luncheon. "Business background. Young, Dynamic. Good ideas. Intelligent. What can I say?"
Dold has promised to bring "small business common sense to Washington."
