* Press release from a Republican US Senate candidate…
Don Tracy announced he put $2 million into his campaign for US Senate today, signifying his unwavering commitment to winning the race and defending the American Dream for working families across Illinois.
“This shows how committed I am to winning this race so all of Illinois has a leader working for them to lower the cost-of-living and defend our Midwestern values,” said Tracy. “I’ve spent my career fighting for Illinois working families and I’m ready to take that fight to Washington.”
We must make life more affordable for everyday Illinoisans who are struggling under the highest tax burden in the nation. With Illinois families facing sky-high costs for necessities like electricity, healthcare, and housing, Tracy’s financial commitment signals his determination to build a campaign capable of delivering results.
“Career politicians have failed Illinois working families for too long,” Tracy explained. “While they focus on special interests and extreme progressive agendas, I am focused on restoring common sense. My promise to Illinois families is that I will fight with everything I have to be a voice for all 102 counties that make up our great state.”
Discuss.
Also, I’m assuming this is a loan, but I’m awaiting a response on that point.
…Adding… The campaign confirmed that this is a loan.

One way he could lower the cost of living is to eliminate all the new Consumer Taxes levied by this administration.

Did not realize Don’s practice was plaintiff side of comp cases. We think that is what Fighting for working families means

The so-called “American dream” is under assault by the leader of Tracy’s own party. But I digress.

It’s really hard to take seriously any of the GOP fields in these statewide rices. The ILGOP ought to be thankful they’ve got a guy like Tracy who is willing to give business to operatives and consultants in what is going to be one of the most nationalized midterm elections ever.

Just went to his website.

He does not disclose a single piece of legislation or public policy idea that he is for or against.
I can’t imagine subjecting yourself to this level of public scrutiny and sacrificing the amount of time and money it takes to run for U.S. Senate to not open up about some aspect of policy you actually care about. I mean if you’re already tilting at windmills just say what you think.

Nothing says defending Midwestern values quite like loaning yourself $2 million. But I bet it got a good laugh at the country club.

=He does not disclose a single piece of legislation or public policy idea that he is for or against.=
I think that’s consistent with the party as a whole. To meet the criteria of MAGA you must endorse the leader and his objectives without question. That’s the pathway to an Illinois primary victory and general election defeat.

So Dot Don is really spending zip. Wonder if the loans pays interest?
