“With Governor Rauner’s re-election team now in place and the teams for the House and Senate GOP caucuses in place, I am returning to my role as President of Illinois Opportunity Project (IOP) and Chairman of Illinois Liberty PAC, a direct expenditure PAC, as these organizations represent critical policy and political infrastructure for advancing economic liberty in Illinois," Besler said in the news release.
Besler, who took a leave of absence to work for Rauner, has more than 17 years of experience in corporate communications, and his role at the Illinois Opportunity Project includes working on online and offline advocacy programs focused on advancing the principles of the free market through legislation, according to the project's website.
