Career

Politics

Salvi was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives in 1992 and served there until 1996, when he left his seat to run for the Senate. In his Senate run Salvi defeated Lieutenant Governor Bob Kustra in the Republican primary but was defeated by Democratic Congressman Dick Durbin in the general election. In 1998, Salvi was the Republican candidate for secretary of state but was defeated by Democrat Jesse White.

In 1998, when Salvi was running for Illinois Secretary of State, campaign manager Peter Roskam asked the Illinois Comptroller's office for a list of state employees. At the time, Roskam told the "Chicago Tribune" that the request was for personal use. However, Roskam gave the list to Salvi, who used the list to send numbered campaign fund-raising tickets to state employees. The numbering allowed the campaign to keep track of who contributed and who didn't. One watchdog group called the scheme "classic Illinois political prostitution with a twist."

Al Salvi invited Republican David McSweeney, a candidate for the 8th Congressional District, on his program but the interview soon became confrontational. Salvi went on to call McSweeney the "sleaziest" person he had dealt with, that he "made an ass of himself," is "a nut" and "made Richard Nixon look like a choirboy." These statements were made during a primary in which his wife Kathy was an opponent of McSweeney. [ [http://www.nwherald.com/CommunitySection/slupski/292585035397864.php] Dead link|date=March 2008]
