We are losing the good ones, but her retirement makes sense.

I know Biss, and I don't want him to be in that seat. They would be better served by Laura Fine.

Biss ran for governor. I am glad he lost the primary to Pritzker. Biss spoke up in favor in term limits! This, from a Democrat! He wanted to screw around with the pension system, too. After many long years, our credit as a state has been upgraded. Pritzker has proven that all we need to do is pay the bills and fund the pension system.

Illinois is a good state that has gotten a bad rap. We have wonderful Democrats here and we are true blue.
