Chicago Tribune backs Hamos in IL-10 race
By Emily on 01/19/2010 @ 10:01 AM
Huge news from Julie Hamos's campaign today! Julie, who's running to fill the open seat in IL-10, landed the endorsement of the Chicago Tribune, a major demonstration of her campaign's strength in the final two weeks before the Feb. 2 primary election. As the Tribune noted, this is the only House race in the state without an incumbent on the ballot, making it a top opportunity for a Democratic takeover.
Here's what they had to say about Julie in their endorsement:
"Our endorsement goes to state Rep. Julie Hamos of Wilmette. She has a fine record on ethics reform, domestic violence laws and early childhood education. She patiently and quite skillfully engineered new law that shored up the finances and instituted critical pension reforms for Chicago-area mass transit."
Julie has run a stellar campaign from day one -- building on her strong record of service, reaching out to constituents across the district, and earning endorsements from unions, her colleagues in the state legislature, and top political leaders in the state.
The Tribune endorsement shows exactly how much momentum Julie's campaign has -- and it means our support will be more critical than ever in helping her keep up this pace through the primary.
