* Tomorrow is a state holiday, so I’m shutting the blog down for a day. Until then, here’s an 1860 campaign song written for the person we’re honoring tomorrow…
Our David’s good sling is unerring,
The Slaveocrats’ giant he slew;
Then shout for the Freedom-preferring—
For Lincoln and Liberty too!
Dr. Chuck Ellington (R-Camargo) released his first campaign ad in his bid to replace the retiring John Shimkus in the March Republican Primary. Dr. Chuck’s ad promotes that it takes real strength to overhaul Obamacare and support our farmers. Dr. Chuck will bring that real strength with him to Washington DC.
Ellington is one of four GOP candidates vying to replace Shimkus. According to his campaign website, he’s a “practicing family physician, licensed attorney, health policy expert, and assistant professor of Family and Community Medicine.”
E-PAC, the leadership committee of Rep. Elise Stefanik (NY-21), has officially endorsed conservative Republican Mary Miller, Candidate for Congress in the 15th District and named her a ‘Rising Star’ female candidate.
Stefanik posted the following statement on Twitter: “Mary Miller in Illinois 15 is a farmer, mother, grandmother, business manager, and teacher. She is running on conservative values of lowering taxes, supporting the 2nd Amendment, and pro-life issues.”
Rep. Stefanik and her leadership committee, E-PAC, are committed to helping strong Republican women get elected to Congress. Rep. Stefanik serves on the House Intelligence Committee, where she was one of President Trump’s strongest defenders and one of the House Democrats’ sharpest critics during the sham impeachment trial.
“It is an honor to be endorsed as one of E-PAC’s 2020 “Rising Star” Republican women. I am humbled to have the support of Rep. Elise Stefanik in this race,” Miller said. “Anyone who watched the impeachment trial saw how effective she was in defending our president. She is fearless and she continues to lead the charge to elect more Republican women to Congress. I look forward to joining her!”
