Erika Harold explores candidacy for 13th DistrictTue, 04/24/2012 - 8:00am | Tom Kacich

URBANA — Erika Harold, an Urbana native who was Miss America 2003 and now is an attorney in Chicago, said Monday that she is "exploring the possibility" to be a Republican candidate for Congress in the new 13th Congressional District.

The GOP nomination opened earlier this month when U.S. Rep. Tim Johnson of Urbana, who had won the party's March 20 primary election, opted not to run for a seventh term. That left the nomination to be decided by the 14 county chairmen in the congressional district that arcs from Champaign County southwest to Madison County in the Illinois suburbs of St. Louis...



She wants to run against Dr David Gill who is a fine Progressive candidate. This is a newly drawn district that actually is winnable for a Dem.

4. She was the abstinence queen.

As my daughter says, she "played the V card" ALL the time.



Knowing how plastic that whole scene all is, do we REALLY want to hear Miss America's views on sex? Does that make her qualified to be in Congress??????
