* No blogging today, but here’s some interesting political news…

U.S. Representative Jesús “Chuy” García and the 22nd Ward Independent Political Organization (IPO) officially endorsed Democrat Alexi Giannoulias today as the party’s nominee for Illinois Secretary of State in 2022.

“Alexi represents a new generation of progressive leaders in the Democratic Party and has proven himself as someone who will stand up and fight for progressive values,” Congressman García said. “Having worked closely with Alexi on several issues that have been important to working families and our communities, I know he positions Democrats with the best chance to win this critical seat.”

In addition to García’s support, Giannoulias was also endorsed by 22nd Ward Alderperson and Committeeperson Michael D. Rodriguez, President of 22nd Ward IPO Vanessa Uribe and State Representative Edgar Gonzalez Jr. (D-21st District). In addition, Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) Commissioner Eira L. Corral Sepúlveda also announced her support.

That’s very big.
