15. There are several people running to replace the retiring Durbin.

Durbin declined to support any of them. I have been getting emails from Raja for years. I don't know him, but I am on his email list because I have attended events where he was speaking.

Pritzker, our wonderful governor, has endorsed Julianna Stratton, one of the other people running. She is our Lieutenant Governor. I have met her and I attended one of her events. Someone else is on the ticket with Pritzker this time. If Pritzker likes Stratton, that goes a long way with me. In fact, I circulated a nominating petition for Stratton.

Not vote? Who are you Badger, with your 47 posts?
