55 degrees in the Chicago area, and many of us are canvassing today in the IL 3rd.

I was part of a large group canvassing for Marie Newman in the Il 3rd District.

Luckily, today was 55F and sunny, but I have canvassed in sub-zero weather as well.

And we must all do our parts to motivate voters.

Most people did not express a candidate preference for the Presidential race, but everyone I spoke with expressed disgust with Trump and the GOP.

But this time, there are 4 candidates.

One, Charles Hughes, was a former precinct captain for William Lipinski, He has no campaign manager, no online presence, and has given one interview to a local paper. I feel he ran to divide the anti-Lipinski vote.

Turnout will be key. He is stronger in Chicago, and lost in the suburbs. Plus, as we know, a multiple candidate situation favors the incumbent.
