12. My Congressman is a jerk.

Mon Jul 23, 2018, 04:57 PM

Jul 2018

Adam Kitzinger, IL 16th Congressional District. We have a good woman running against him, Sara Dady. She lives in Rockford IL, and is an immigration lawyer. Interestingly, she has not run any TV ads yet about her campaign. She has run ads for her law firm.

If I lived just a few miles Southeast, I would be represented by the 17th District Congress woman Cheri Bustos, a Democrat.

I work for Sara'a election, and support Cheri as well.

I am proud to say that my Senators and Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth.
