Today, Laura Fine released her closing ad, “All,” which will run on broadcast television and digital for the remainder of the campaign.
TRANSCRIPT:
My opponents think false attacks can make me back down—they don’t know me at all.
My husband almost died in a car accident. He went through ten surgeries.
And while I held our young family together, the insurance company tried to drop us.
I took ‘em on and won.
Then, I ran for office, passing laws to protect all families.
I’m Laura Fine. I approve this message.
When it comes to stopping Trump, and passing Medicare for All, I’ll never back down.
Chicagoland Progressive Congressional Candidates Demand AIPAC-Backed Challengers Come Clean on Iran War
CHICAGO – Last week, the Chicago Sun-Times/WBEZ published an investigation into millions of dollars flowing from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) into the campaigns and allied super PACs of four Illinois congressional candidates: Donna Miller (IL-2), Melissa Conyears-Ervin (IL-7), Melissa Bean (IL-8), and Laura Fine (IL-9). Then, on Saturday, the United States and Israel went to war with Iran, with AIPAC’s full-throated support.
Since the war began, all four AIPAC-backed candidates have issued vague statements of general disapproval, but none have answered the simple question: given AIPAC’s relentless Iran warmongering, do you disavow its support of your campaign?
Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC-endorsed candidates Robert Peters (IL-2), Anthony Driver Jr. (IL-7), Junaid Ahmed (IL-8), and Daniel Biss (IL-9) responded with a joint statement:
“Donald Trump has dragged us into an unnecessary and illegal regime change war fully backed by AIPAC. Here in Chicagoland, four AIPAC-funded candidates are trying to hide that support while dodging straightforward questions. In a time of war, clarity is not optional. Will these candidates finally and unequivocally reject AIPAC’s pro-war agenda?”
