Sandack’s opponent Keith Matune is supported by Dan Proft.
* Meanwhile, here’s one of several pieces criticizing Rep. Jeanne Ives…
Rep. Ives’ Republican opponent is backed by organized labor, particularly the teachers.

It’s too bad Common Sense doesn’t have a proofreader. Yikes.

Nicely done, forgot that one.
Jeanne Ives stopped lecturing 3rd Graders long enough to take a picture with Leader Durkin. Ives then proceeded to continue her lecturing, making the parents cry…

On Primary Day, House Republican Leader Jim Durkin counts his minuses.
Comment by Mittuns Tuesday, Mar 18, 14 @ 12:24 pm
As Leader I love all my members…even THIS one.

Jeanne Ives agrees to photo to only have the opportunity to get her knife out of Leader Durkin’s back without anyone noticing.

After the picture, Leader Durkin inquired of Rep. Ives about some missing frozen strawberries…

Jeanne Ives invited all of her friends in the HGOP Caucus to come to her polling place on Election Day.
Leader Durkin showed…and…

I think it is a good thing Ives got zero results. I hope gets zero results in the future.

Man, I would hope the Sandack campaign had an apparatus of their own to target Dems. I would assume they’ve been doing that, but then again if HRO was calling the shots maybe not.

Ives with the only member of the entire General Assembly that will talk with her.

Hey, if you ever figure out who made the mailer, give them my email address. In the future I would love to give them our updated logo.

Wait just one minute here…the Adam Johnson advertisement is factually incorrect. Michael Madigan has passed many bills over the years. So, leprechauns do pass bills, and only the Easter Bunny and Jeanne Ives have not. I demand a retraction.

Later, Rep. Ives was surprised to learn she had posed for a picture with the leader of her caucus. She said, “Well, I hope he votes for me.”

There’s a sad sort of clanging
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple, too
And up in the nursery
An absurd little bird
Is popping out to say coo-coo
(Coo-coo, coo-coo)
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu
To you and you and you

You could probs send a mailer to soft d’s for less than 5 grand so no need to register the PAC.
