DUers running for office, post here please

[eyesroll]

I keep a list of every DUer running for office on my blog, candidateswife.blogspot.com. I have a feeling my list is out of date.

If you are running for any office, at any level -- from sophomore class treasurer on up -- please let me know (and give me your Web site if you have one -- I'll include a name without a site if you want me to) so I can update my links list.

So far, I've got Charlie Crystle, Jeff Seemann, Andy Stephenson and Vince Whitacre.

Also, if you're currently holding office, let me know that, too.

Thanks!

1. That's great of you.

I am sending this thread to Andy to make certain he sees it. Best of luck to your husband. I have been in your district many times (live in Chicago).

:hi:

2. Hey great aunt how are you?

Also what district are you talking about, we have an elected DU'er in Chicago?

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. eyesroll's husband in running for Congress in SE Wisconsin

On edit: Andy is running for Washington Secretary of State.

I mean that district. No elected DUers in Chicago, so far as I know.

I am fine, except that I am at work. Don't feel like being here today, would rather be in my warm bed. How are you doing wndycty?

4. Thanks, greataunt!

I grew up in Buffalo Grove myself, so I'm sure I've been in your district, too.

5. I live in Jan Schakowsky's district.

Is Buffalo Grove part of Phil Crane's? Ack!

[eyesroll]

7. I believe so, unless redistricting changed it.

I haven't lived there in 10 years.
It is Republican hell, I should add. People who should know better -- they vote solely for their economic interests and forget everything else.

6. Posting, as instructed.

See, I listen to the concerns of my constituents!

8. I am concerned about the amount of leaves in our yard.

What can you do about them?
:evilgrin:

[RetroLounge]

9. You two crack me up.

Hey Vince, once you rake your leaves, can you come over to Tosa and take care of mine?

:)

Eyesroll: did you go to the meetup last night?

[eyesroll]

10. Nope, couldn't make it...

I take it you didn't either?

I think we need a Wisconsin DU gathering. But that's another thread, I guess...

[RetroLounge]

13. Didn't want to drive across town last night.

and yes, a DU gathering is called for I think!

[Whitacre D_WI]

11. Falling leaves are part of nature's cycle.

It is our lawns that are the real nuisance.

[RetroLounge]

12. No doubt. We should just pave the yards over

makes leaf blowing that much easier!

15. I had a client once who told me..

Leaves are a "gift from God".. "He put them there on the ground, so let him take them away "..

His wife did not agree :)..

That was also his take on snow..

This was Chicago.. Lots of both :)

18. Client's name wasn't...

...Bilandic, was it?

Bilandic was mayor of Chicago and was beaten by Jane "Cabrini" Byrne because he couldn't get the snow cleared...

I was thinking about running for Pittsburgh School Board. Still unsure.

Later,
JM

19. Nope.. It was Djuvcek

:)

[JohnKleeb]

I seriously was considering VP in young dems but if it came down to it I wouldnt do it. For many reasons, I am shy(nothing to with below rabble but yes), "unelectable" you know my views I am pretty hardcore left and damn proud of it, too short lol ;) thats a joke because I am not and I base that on what people say about my presidential candiate, my last name is too ethnic lol.
