From Eric Dondero:

Meet Isaac Hayes. No, not that Isaac Hayes. The same name is purely coincidental. This Isaac Hayes is the Republican nominee for US Congress in Il CD-2. The District includes the southside of Chicago to the Indiana border.

Hayes is a graduate of ISU, a young entrepreneur and a staff minister for Youth Ministries.

He was recently interviewed by RedState radio:

We need someone who has honesty and integrity leading this district. He is the third consecutive congressman to be clouded in scandal in the 2nd congressional district. Gus Savage. Mel Reynolds before him. And now my opponent. We haven't had a break from corruption. We just need someone who can get through office without being caught up in scandal and corrpution.

Hayes's top issue: Education. He's a fierce proponent of vouchers and tuition tax credits:

The answer is not just more money. The answer is competition.

School vouchers open the door of possibility for our children to attend better and more racially integrated schools. Our legislators overwhelmingly send their children to private schools in DC because they can afford to. Even our current president enrolled his two daughters in private school. Unfortunately, the communities that are experiencing poor academic performance cannot afford to pay for alternative schools. School vouchers and tax credits can help to offset that disparity.
