It's not every day that a Nobel Prize winner becomes involved in a U.S. election, but Lech Walesa -- famed for his Cold War leadership of the Solidarity movement in Poland -- will be campaigning this week for a GOP gubernatorial candidate in Illinois.
The former Polish president will be the keynote speaker Friday at a Chicago luncheon fundraiser for Adam Andrzejewski, one of four Republican candidates for governor in Illinois.
"I applaud Mr. Andrzejewski's commendable effort to bring real reform to politics," Walesa wrote in a letter endorsing the 40-year-old businessman. "His insistence on transparency in public life are badly needed not only in the great state of Illinois, but in any democracy."
