Setting your sites on Springfield aren't you Craig?
'Broken Heart' readers, how many of you even know if you are IN the Illinois state Senate's 7th district?
Here's a map:
IL Senate 7th District
Gee, I wonder which will win?
Two items...1) are the contacts for the signatures backwards? (why would Elder have Stern's signatures) 2) other than contacting these people, does anyone know where the Elder's people will be collecting signatures?

the deadline was monday. last i heard elders was on track to get 1700 sigs. i know they did file, i don't know how many sigs they had.
The real interesting name looking at Suzanne Elder's petititions is Courtney Nottage. A quick google shows that he is a former chief of staff for Emil Jones. I guess we know who is supporting Heather and how much change we can expect by electing her.
A vote for Heather is a vote for Emil. Just so as you know.
i suppose i only hurt her chances by posting that i support suzanne, but i think she is a great candidate. she has common sense, a brave heart, and an impeccable resume. anyone who has ever battled the bureaucracy on behalf of their kid knows what kind of tough she is.
we need more moms in office. especially in springfield.
I hope "Jeff" realizes he made a mistake in his post, and typed "Suzanne Elder" when he meant "Heather Steans" as having Emil Jones' support.
By the way, no challenges were made to Suzanne's petitions, so there will be a choice on February 5.
