4 Republicans filed for district 4
2006 nominee Ann Melichar (got 14%)
Attorney & Triton College Trustee Jay Reyes
Corporate Financial Advisor Mark Lorch
And, “Flight Attendant, National Guard Serviceman & GOP Activist” Ruben Sanchez Jr., who has a twitter https://twitter.com/rdsanchezjr
There has never been a GOP primary for the seat before, if at least 2 don’t get kicked off the ballot, there will be. That would be neat.
7 or 8 rats running.
Besides Chuy Garcia and Alderman Adolph Ramirez-Rosa there are 2 more Alderman Running, Joe Moreno and Raymond Lopez. That’s 3 sitting Alderman. Free for all.
More ILL races
Bost has a primary challenger, Preston Nelson (R) - Internet Technician, Model & Libertarian Party Activist, oh yippy.
He also has a serious rat foe.
Kingz has 2 challengers, one too many, one is James Marter.
Davis (wish Harold was in that seat) and Shimkus deserve challengers, sadly none.
The challengers to rat Cheri Bustos (in Trump district) don’t look particularly strong.
It looks like Nazi Art Jones and “Republican” Jimmy Tillman are gonna be our nominees in districts 3 and 2, respectively, 2nd time for Tillman (2014, he lost the primary in 2016).
Looks like 8th time (yes 8th) https://www.ourcampaigns.com/CandidateDetail.html?CandidateID=107471 is the charm for Art Jones.
Embarrassing and disgusting, but I would honestly vote Nazi (or ISIS) before democrat.
As for Tillman, I honestly don’t know what he’s about, he obviously doesn’t want a real career or he’d ran as a rat for something. His twitter is outdated but he seems to like Black Lives Matter. I’d take him over Rush, why the heck not?
Both will lose badly of course, and Jones will be used to embarrass the party.
