We are doing everything we can to get rid of him.

He votes a pure trump line. He does not meet with constituents.

Look at his record. Pure republican scum!

Anyone who lives in IL 16: Vote for Sara Dady!

for Sara.

I have met with her several times. We had some good conversations at ILDCCA in Springfield.

If you would like to help more, contact Stacy Bernardi, her campaign manager.

I am canvassing a local precinct tomorrow with a candidate. We will distribute literature for Sara, David Simpson and Amy Davis while we are out and about.

I will be working a precinct that does not have a precinct committee person. Since it is in my community, I know most of the Democrats. I have a VoteBuilder walk list, too. We also look for new precinct committee people and election judges, too.

It is hard work and fun. It never ends. I despise how red this district is!

I wound up in Roskam's district. He won't see voters either and we're working hard to get rid of the Kochlican. But we have weird red districts because Dems drew the lines so there's only five or six red districts in the state.
