But it’s too late for anyone new to get in?
Good luck in your race, Phil. Is it an open seat? I assume that there are several open seats in your area due to the trickle down effect of Kirk running for the U.S. Senate, with state senators running for the U.S. House and state representatives running for the state senate.
Yes, it’s too late for anyone to enter my race. The last day to file was yesterday.
Yes, it’s an open seat. My state rep., Elizabeth Coulson, is runnning for Rep. Kirk’s seat. I don’t know of any state rep., in the Chicago area, who is running for the state senate. State Reps. Coulson and Cross endorsed one of my primary opponents. Coulson is pro-choice, pro-gun control, and pro-illegal alien, so she probably endorsed a Republican who is as liberal as she is.
Phil is running for the open seat Beth Coulson who is running for Kirk’s house seat. The guy favored by the Tom Cross and the party brass is some dude named Hamilton Chang. Billyboy told me Chang is a RINO. All I know about him is is he’s a rich banker (great name for a rich guy) who was born in Taiwan.
The rats will be heavily targeting the seat with candidate Daniel Bliss who lost by 3 points to Coulson last year.
