* I’m told the Brzozowski campaign is putting about 650 points behind this ad on Rockford TV…

* Script…

My dad was in the Army for 25 years, but this place is my home. The people here are my friends, family and neighbors.

I grew up poor. I know what it’s like to pay for gas with change from the floorboards, wear shoes that are too small, to try so hard and come up against barriers you didn’t even know were there. And I know what it’s like to be trying anyway. So do all of you.

We need jobs and health care and health, and too many of us are struggling. We deserve more than Adam Kinzinger is giving us. I’m Dani Brzozowski and I approve this message.

President Trump won this district by 16 points four years ago. Bruce Rauner won it by 11. Secretary of State Jesse White has won it by double digits every cycle, but AG Lisa Madigan is the only other Democrat to have ever carried it, and that was by just 1.4 percentage points in 2014.

So, this may be a waste of time, but I’m still curious what you think.
