Breaking news: Hamos under attack in IL-10

Last-minute attacks in the IL-10 primary race show exactly how tight next Tuesday's vote is going to be.

EMILY's List candidate Julie Hamos is being targeted by her opponent, Dan Seals, with a negative mailing to the district's voters distorting her record.

Seals, who has run for this seat twice before and lost both times in the general election, is focusing his efforts on a negative politics-as-usual style campaign just days before the Feb. 2 primary.

Julie's running a stellar campaign, and she's been endorsed by top Democratic leaders, along with the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, and labor unions. There's no doubt Julie's momentum is what's fueling Seals' attacks in the campaign's final days. But outrageous tactics like this have worked before, and Seals has strong name recognition in a district that's used to seeing him run for office.

Julie is the best candidate to put this GOP-held seat back in Democratic hands, but she must win this hotly-contested primary first. Click here to contribute to Julie's campaign to help her fight back against these attacks and win her primary next Tuesday!
