Bill Foster in for another loss?

       Bill Foster in for another loss:

                                                                        BY: Andrew Mitsen

 

(PS)  Bill Foster (D) the Congressman of the 11th district is up for re - election this year and his numbers are troubling. Some poll's showing him down as much as 7 points are really shaking the Democratic party. Bill having made a few un timely moves that have voters upset and ready to show it. Democrats across the board. Republican Senator Darlene Senger is giving him quite a scare.

    Many local voters are still reminded of Fosters lack of willingness to back the Will County workers unions in the strike earlier this year. By standing down and doing nothing, now he may face the consequences. Although he has done a pretty good job of leading the 11th district, this may be the needle in the haystack to cause his reign as Congressman to come to an abrupt end. Bill Has held the seat for one term, having lost his last congressional seat to (R) Randy Hultgren in 2008. Fosters political career has had it's ups and downs as has his personal life over the last 10 years.

    This may be the make or break race for Mr. Foster and his crew of campaign workers. We will stay tuned and we will keep following this race very closely!

Michael Urban info

     

Michael Urban is a candidate up for election, running in the cook county commissioner seat this year against Tim Schneider. As a first time candidate our initial thought was he must have some sort of connection to big Chicago politics. This is not the case. Mr. Urban is a person all on his own in this race, having quit his day job to do a good job running a campaign.  Stating " I had a choice, work and try to make a difference, or go all out". Michael, a lifetime Cook County resident, has taken this run seriously. Clearing his time and schedule to get the job done right the first time.

   Unlike many elected officials, he has stepped back a few notches, and even answers his own phone calls. This being a huge difference from most politicians in general, let alone a Cook County Commissioner candidate!

His history in Cook County as deep rooted as his agenda. Michael wishes to make a positive impact on his County, hoping to shift some of the community's needs.

Shaking up Illinois?

     As the political season Moves forward, we are left to wonder what will happen this year. With Govonor Pat Quinn behind in the poll's and Republican Bruce Rauner in the lead, how will this year play out? Candidates all over the state are in uproar with a season not seen in Illinois in years. Republicans declaring an early victory, and Democratic candidates left out to dry by their own party? What is going on in Illinois? A Democratic state from the get go is lacking Democratic support? The Republicans looking to have their first gubernatorial race won in years?This year could be an upset for a few long term politicians whom are in control now.

Bob O'derkirk walks in the spanish parade

     

  Joliet City Councilman Bob O'derkirk walks in the Joliet Spanish parade, but not campaigning to be a councilman. Bob is running to be the next mayor of Joliet, IL. Bob a strong independent man, with high hopes came out on Saturday the 6th, 2014. While out walking he received many smiles and hand shakes, the current mayor Thomas Giarrante no where to be found. This can only leave one wondering where the city's mayor could be? While Bob was out making the community a better place, meeting and greeting his community, Tom was lost in a game of golf somewhere.  Sad to see our own mayor again could not show up with out cameras and spotlight, but what more could we expect from the old guard of Joliet?

    With high hopes for Bob, our staff watched as the entire parade passed, Bob being a candidate whom could not only re build Joliet, but possibly bring it back to life. After the loss of long time Mayor Art Schultz, Joliet is in need of real leadership. We will keep our eyes on the following months as other candidates start to announce their hopes to run as well.

Repbulican bought lead?

       A Republican year has seemingly sprung upon us in the state of Illinois. With the gubernational race is a very UN-Evan bend aiming for Bruce Rauner, 57  ( R)  to win by up to 15 points. With Govonor Pat Quinn, 65 (D).  This year thus far the Rauner campaign has been playing hard ball with the unions and Democratic leaders. Having given Millions to other campaigns in the state as well. It may seem as if Rauner is buying the vote? This seems quite possible. So are we reverting to another party bought through money?
