out planting signs at the polling places. def winning the yard sign game. didnt see a single one of either of our opponents.
we are optimistic.

this is the easy part, of course. the general is where the real competition comes in. but then again, maybe not this year.

anyway- wish sheila luck, and the rest of the dems that have stepped up to make a full slate in this red stronghold.

eta- thanks for all the good wishes. she really appreciates du.

Candidate Profile:

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20180207/submitted/302079751/

I have read a good amount about her and she seems like a wonderful, intelligent, compassionate and talented person. I have enjoyed reading her tweets and re-tweets.

I wish I could vote for her tomorrow. Best of luck and solid work. If I remember correctly, this is your baby: sheila4dupage6.org

so many using small screens these days it is not safe to assume they are seen any more.

she is def the best of the 3 candidates running, and is getting some great support from those that know her.

(btw, it is now today. imma fix that)

so, we have had our ups and downs over the years, but when push comes, we are there for each other.
i have put in a lot of time on her website, and campaign materials, writing and designing. and lots of advice and encouragement.

but here is a tweet from my brother who lives in cali-

Met a guy on a Lift at Solitude ski resort. HE(MikeSullivan) was from your district He will vote for you.The power of the Cahill Clan is boundless @sheila rutledge

always there.
