Jan Schakowsky Electioneering Inside Polling Places
Jan Schakowsky has been electioneering inside polling places across the 9th congressional district. All day long, she has been visiting election judges inside polling places and giving them candy. At 3:30 p.m., at Unity Northwest Church, on E. Central Road, in Des Plaines, Jan Schakowsky promised to help an election judge obtain a congressional internship. [...]

Where in the 9th District is Jan Schakowsky?

We finish strong; they finish wrong
In the last 24 hours before polls open, our campaign is finishing strong–canvassing, phone banking, and building enthusiasm and excitement as we head into Tuesday. We know we can do it! Our opponent, by contrast, has been finishing wrong–harping on a negative message and scaring seniors. Her supporters are stealing yard signs and removing our [...]
Schakowsky’s negative campaign will backfire
In the final days of the campaign, my opponent has resorted to negative campaigning of the worst sort, sending false and nasty mailings that accuse me of saying and doing things that I never said or did. The only uniformly positive mailing she sent was done by a special interest group on her behalf. Her [...]

Our volunteers are the BEST!
This morning, I was at the Park Ridge Metra station. I’ve been greeting commuters at that station since June–in fact, by August 13, I had been to every single Metra and CTA station in the district. Today, some Democrats showed up for the first time–Lieutenant Governor candidate Sheila Simon, and two volunteers from Governor Pat [...]
Schakowsky’s Electrician… Is A Politician!
Jan Schakowsky’s new television commercial features electrician Alan Sindelar. But it doesn’t tell the whole story. The facts about Sindelar reveal that Schakowsky’s not fighting for workers–she’s fighting for her political cronies, including Sindelar. Sindelar is a Democrat insider with close ties to the party machine: Sindelar is the Treasurer of “Citizens for Elaine Nekritz,” [...]

All she has left is lies
Over the past several months, my opponent has been telling lies to voters and to the media about me. I have repeatedly offered her a $2400 donation–the maximum–if she can prove even one of her claims. She has yet to take up the offer–because she’s lying. Let’s review the lies that Jan Schakowsky has been [...]
