On October 12, the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board published its endorsement in the race for Illinois House District 53. The full editorial is on the Tribune’s site. Three lines from it:
“precisely the kind of thoughtful, independent-minded candidate Illinois needs in Springfield”
“an unusually sophisticated understanding of the state’s fiscal problems”
“Her proposals go well beyond familiar calls to cut spending.”

Thank you to the Editorial Board for taking the time to read the proposals. If you agree that Springfield needs someone who reads the numbers, you can read where I stand, join the campaign, or chip in to help reach the neighbors who have not heard from us yet.
