the illinois primary is only 8 days away.
my sister, sheila rutledge, is on the ballot for the county board of dupage county, a formerly solid red area, now very purple, and decidedly flippable.
this is in peter ro-scum's 6th il district. the dupage democratic party has pushed to get 1 dem elected in each of the 6 county districts. this is the heart of il6. flip the county, and we will flip the district.
for the first time in anyone's memory, there is a dem candidate for every seat on the ticket. in most cases, there are actual contested primaries. there a 7 dem candidates for the house seat!! (old timers will remember christine cegelis's campaign that caused henry hyde to retire. the local party has grown by leaps and bounds since then.)
in sheila's race, there are 3 dem candidates.
she is by far the best candidate. not just my opinion, but the opinion of several mayors and party chairs in the district, including the party chair of one of her challenger's home township.
she is working her little buns off. she is knocking doors every day. the party will help her if she wins her primary, but they only do a little before that. so, we are operating on a very skinny shoestring right now.
we think she can win.
we need another order of yard signs for the polling places next tuesday. and after we win, we will need a much bigger order. there are over 80k voters in her district. we will need to reach them, and get her name out there. (did i mention we have great looking, very striking signs? we do.)
we also need to bring the donuts next tuesday.
like my last ask, i will match every dollar that you guys donate.
yes, she is my sister, and yes, i have given her some money. and a lot of time.
but she hates to ask me. so i need this little maguffin to sooth her conscience. lol.
at the bottom of the ticket, small change brings big change. this is where the tsunami will grow.
even $5 is very much appreciated.
