I’m surprised there is any Republican Party in the city for them to infiltrate.
Tomorrow when I go to vote in the primary I will help choose the candidates for the following offices:
President of the United States
U.S. Representative (2 people running, neither have a snowball’s chance in hell of beating Jackson, Jr. or Halvorsen.)
Metropolitan Water Reclamation District
10th Ward Republican Committeeman
Oh, and one person, “No Candidate” is running in the GOP primary for multiple offices: State Senate, State Rep, States Attorney, Clerk of the Circuit Court, Recorder of Deeds, Board of Review, Illinois Supreme Court, 6 seats on the Appellate Court, and 11 seats on the Circuit Court.
Besides POTUS, where the candidate I support has no delegates, the only contested race I got is for Ward Committeeman. My longtime Committeeman is retiring and I 2 guys are running both whom I know nothing about.
One, Charlie Serrano, might have worked for George Ryan. Or it could just be a guy with the same name.
The only thing I know about the other is that he is over 65 and gave money to Walter Mondale in 1983.
I believe my outgoing Committeeman and many others to be puppets.
Just cause this Mirlinda girl posed for a pic with a rat congresswoman doesn’t necessary mean she’s one as well. She’s also has a pic with our “GOP” Senator Mark Kirk. She says the pic with Jan S was taken at a charity event. Her opponent’s name is Marty Phelan, a realtor.
One of the few things online about the ward committeeman races I’ve found is some blogger I’ve never heard of before named Stephen F. Boulton’s personal recommendations. He backs this girl and Serrano in my Ward.
Record low turnout is expected in the city. The rats don’t have anything to excite them either.
I’ve been voting since 2002, no one has ever run for state legislator in my district, not a one.
