* Well, some of it anyway. Here’s an Iris Martinez TV ad…
From a Martinez ally…
The buy is a little over 400 points plus some cable. The buy is likely to be increased by the end of the week.
Script…
Michael Cabonargi and Richard Boykin. Two politicians out for themselves.
On the Cook County Board of Review, Cabonargi gave nearly a billion dollars in property tax breaks to powerful insiders. He got corrupt contributions and you got higher property taxes. Boykin helped Mitch McConnell try to keep the Senate Republican.
Iris Martinez, a progressive fighting for women’s health, raising the minimum wage and coverage for pre-existing conditions. Iris Martinez for Cook County Clerk, a woman standing up to corruption.
* Equal time…
* Jeanne Ives fundraising pitch…
Dear Friend,
You may have heard about the incident at the University of Chicago that has gone viral.
Former Congressman Sean Duffy’s daughter Evita Duffy participated in a voter participation initiative. She was photographed with a whiteboard on which she wrote, “I vote because the coronavirus won’t destroy America, but socialism will.”
The backlash against her was swift. She’s received threats and personal attacks, just for declaring that she was a conservative on a college campus.
Please make a donation today to stop this kind of hatred from the radical left.
They attacked Evita and they will come after me and my family. But we are ready. Like Evita, and the Ives Family is All In for this fight. It is a small price to pay to preserve the rule of law and equal protection before it; the freedom to choose our professional pursuits and how we pursue them.
My opponent Sean Casten uses hate to direct people’s attention away from his assaults on our freedoms and free enterprise system.
Casten tweeted that the GOP was the party of pedophiles. And when asked to identify a leader he looks to for guidance, Sean Casten selected a virulent, profane bigot named Dan Savage who has called evangelical Christians “pieces of sh*t” and said of Republicans, “I wish they were all f**king dead.”
Sean Casten doesn’t disavow such language, he doubles down on it as he did when he compared the President of the United States to Osama bin Laden.
Casten doesn’t want to make American better. He wants to make it bitter.
If Evita Duffy can stand up, so can we. Stand with Evita and Jeanne against Sean Casten, Nancy Pelosi and the viciousness of the radical Left.
* On to the presidential…
This raises questions about whether Biden will still hold his campaign rally that was scheduled for Chicago this Friday night. No location was announced when the rally notice went out. Any update @kbeds? https://t.co/5wTHO70DYc

If you’re gonna cancel a rally in Ohio, then you should cancel a rally in Chicago.
*** UPDATE *** Good…
No Rally for @JoeBiden in Chicago Friday, instead a Virtual event #coronavirus #ILPrimary

Ms Ives,
You and I aren’t friends. Please go away now.

===She’s received threats and personal attacks, just for declaring that she was a conservative on a college campus===
The victimhood is strong in this one.
Let’s be clear. This young woman did not simply declare herself to be a conservative, she compared a political-economic system with a deadly global pandemic.
The University of Chicago is hardly a left wing indoctrination camp, but it is full of very smart students who are perfectly within their rights to call BS on such a dumb comparison.
It’s OK to be conservative. It isn’t OK to be dumb. Not in Hyde Park anyway.

the cabonargi ad is a ripoff of the old blagojevich diner ad where they couldn’t pronounce his name. well done, just not original.

The Cabnargi ad is a rip off of the Blagijevich ad as well as the Krishnamoorthi ad just call me Raja.
That said- both ads were very effective and they both ended up winning.

Is Martinez running for Circuit Clerk or County Clerk? Check out the audio at the end of the ad.

…and the how do you pronounce comptroller ad. Anyone know if the same firm did the Blago, Raja, Comptroller and Cabonargi ads?

As a Hyde Parker, I can confirm that.

By repealing the soda tax?

Good to know Ms Ives is there to give us all the drama we need in the 6th.

tv costs lots of money. it’s always interesting to see who gave what to whom in these races.
Comment by Amalia Wednesday, Mar 11, 20 @ 7:02 pm
Richard Boykin is obviously gaining momentum. The other candidates are emptying their campaign chests with attack ads against him from the same old playbook. I watched the WTTW debate last night and I like the independent Democrat Boykin. They all clearly see Boykin as the front runner.

What does someone being mean to Evita Duffy have to do with Sean Casten? Or any of his constituents who are fifty miles away?
Ives is lost. Major industries are going to go down the tubes, travel, conventions, hotels and airlines, and bankrupt a lot of good people who work in those industries. And some good people are going to die. And that’s all she can think to discuss? Or Dan Savage said something rude to someone and then apologized something like twenty years ago? Oh my gosh, who cares?

Jeanne Ives has always been a divisive force in local and state politics. Look at all her political runs and a common thread is present. It has been a loud and in-your-face divisiveness. She’s never been a healer or uniter she’s been a divider.
