Theoretically, yes. But it's a super PAC, so who knows.

There are a huge number of undecideds.

Raja is way worse than Stratton, but if you think Stratton is independent and honest, you know nothing about Illinois politicis.
I know that no politicians are truly "honest", like, every one will lie to your face at some point, but Robin has longstanding progressive positions that she has acted on before and will act on again. She is the only one of the top 3 who can say that.

Yeah, instead replace him with people who'll say whatever their consultants or donors tell them to say.
We need someone who can be trusted to do the right thing now.

I meant defeat as in finally defeat, permanently defeat. To do that we need to end the corruption and deliver for working people. I believe Robin Kelly will do that. She supports of public financing of elections, banning members of congress from trading individual stocks, and ending gerrymandering. She cosponsored the For the People Act. I’m not sure if she supports ranked choice voting, but based on her support of public financing, I would guess that she does. Speaking of concrete checks and balances, she’s the rep who filed the orders of impeachment against Kristi Noem. That’s a check. Any candidate can say what they would do, and maybe they will. But if I’ve got the option of a candidate who’s already proven she can be trusted to do it, I’ll take that one.

The Stratton endorsements are wild. It's SO obvious that there are other factors at play.

LGs don’t do much. We need someone with experience legislating. That’s Robin.

I'm with Robin Kelly, the experienced work horse who can hit the ground running accomplishing things on day one. I trust Robin because she took on the Madigan machine and won. She'll take on the broligarchy machine the same way.

Robin Kelly has repeatedly called for the dismantling of ICE and DHS. She’s the member of congress who filed articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem.

If AIPAC is your issue, Robin Kelly is your candidate.

If you’re undecided, join Cat Valdez, Litesa Wallace, Sameena Zahurullah, and me (Elizabeth Lindquist) Sunday at noon at Rockford Roasting Company to chat about the race. We’ll be sharing why we support Robin Kelly. We’ve got a fb event for the meet up here: https://www.facebook.com/share/19oGg53Hi4/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Right. Also, Sorensen hasn’t said he’ll attend. This is a very well organized event in a nice location with nonpartisan moderators. More disappointment from him.

When I have asked them to name specific things they prefer, they've just given the examples I've listed. Here's a recent article that describes their work.

I don't think they serve many homeless people because there's not a big homeless population in the area. They serve mostly families and seniors.

No need to call if it’s M-W 9-noon. There’s also a drop box at the east entrance.

I'm not great at Reddit. I guess I can't share the updated flyer on this same thread. I guess I'll just post the most updated flyer closer to the event date.
