Political career[]
Stufflebeam was a write-in[citation needed] candidate in the 2006 Illinois gubernatorial election against Democratic incumbent Rod Blagojevich, Republican Judy Baar Topinka, and Green Rich Whitney.[4] His running mate was Randy White. He is also state chairman of Illinois' Constitution Party and is a former Marine. Stufflebeam received 19,020 votes (0.55%) in his write-in bid for the Governor's office.
In June 2007 Stufflebeam announced that he was running for Illinois State Representative in the 114th District.[5] Despite Stufflebeam's announcement he did not run in the 2008 election.[citation needed]
He filed as a candidate for U.S. Senator from Illinois in 2010, but the Illinois State Board of Elections disqualified the slate of Constitution Party candidates.[6]
At the 2012 Constitution Party National Convention, Stufflebeam was elected the National Vice-Chairman of the Constitution Party. He originally ran for chairman, but was defeated by Frank Fluckiger.[7]
In January 2013, Stufflebeam announced the formation of an exploratory committee for a possible U.S. Senate run in Illinois in 2014.[8] However, on March 2, he announced that after long deliberation he would not run for the U.S. Senate after all.[9] Stufflebeam later announced he would run for Governor of Illinois in the 2018 election.[10]
He resides in Belleville, Illinois.[11]
