Not a bad move. IIRC, the “windy” has the single largest Polish population in the U.S., and immigrants and their children, make up approx. 30% of the total Illinois population.

Walesa is still respected and admired among Americans and, especially, the Poles.

BTW, Walesa earned his Nobel. How many of us, quite a few I’d wager, remember the protests he led in Gdansk, and his in your face shout downs?

I just hope Andrzejewski turns out better than Dan Rostenkowski.
