DUers running for office, post here please
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 I have a feeling my list is out of date.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:

3. eyesroll's husband in running for Congress in SE Wisconsin
Edited on Thu Nov-06-03 09:59 AM by greatauntoftriplets
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?

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

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.

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

11. Falling leaves are part of nature's cycle.
It is our lawns that are the real nuisance.

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...
Edited on Thu Nov-06-03 07:11 PM by JM
...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

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.
