mauserme Posted June 29, 2022 at 10:46 AM Share Posted June 29, 2022 at 10:46 AM I never wish anything bad for anyone but she's had so much ill will for gun owners, this is a great thing.

2A4Cook Posted June 29, 2022 at 12:11 PM Share Posted June 29, 2022 at 12:11 PM 2,149 votes. How could such an insignificant person have such a huge impact on the rights of millions of gun owners? Less than 5k Demobolshevik votes in that entire district. Moral of the story? Get your backside out and VOTE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Richard Pearson is setting us up to accept Kathleen Willis as the next executive director after he retires. Okay, I was joking, but maybe I'm not anymore.

Ultimately Willis got voted out by people who thought Hernandez would represent them better. OH, she's aligned with the machine all right, she's a progressive. Through U.S. Rep. Jesús "Chuy" García, IL-4: Quote Progressives across Illinois, throughout the collar counties, the Western Suburbs, and the entire Chicagoland area won and we won big. And the message it sends is clear: when we organize and build coalitions on values rooted in community and inclusivity, voters – regardless of race, nation of origin, gender, color, or creed, respond. And with that, a mandate to govern with an agenda that puts working families first. Our entire slate persevered and successfully swept their contests once again. I am deeply heartened by the significant strides made by Women and the Latino community at-large by last night’s sweeping victories. Illinois sends the first-ever Latina from the Midwest to the Halls of Congress, Delia Ramirez, and we elected the first-ever Latina to represent the 77th District in the Illinois House of Representatives, Norma Hernandez. At a time when women’s rights are under unprecedented assault and immigrants continue to be relegated to the shadows, these wins are a glimmer of hope for the country that we can and will, fight back. When she was 14-years old, Norma began to work. She started working cleaning offices and then put herself through college while working full-time at Walgreens in Melrose Park for 12-years. For the past 15-years, she has helped her parents sell plants and other items at Swap-O-Rama flea market on the weekends. Norma used her education to first work in the foster care system and then as an urban planner at the Great Cities Institute at UIC. She has helped lead groundbreaking research on participatory budgeting and helping local governments to implements measures involving the public in important decisions. Last year, Norma ran on an anti-corruption platform and became the first Latina ever elected to serve as a Trustee at Triton Community College. During her term, she has promoted transparency and an equitable administration of Triton's $76 million budget. ● Member, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church. ● Graduate of Stevenson Elementary, and Proviso East High School. ● Associate degree in arts, Triton Community College. ● Bachelor's in social work, Aurora University. ● Master's in urban planning & policy, University of Illinois at Chicago.

They did it to both my house and senate districts, where a long, narrow corridor leads from a few SW suburban towns all the way to "the community" around 79th and Stoney Freaking Island!!

Norma's website statement is carefully calibrated on the issue: Quote Public Safety The rise in crime has gotten to an unimaginable point. We need direct policies to intervene and keep communities safe. We need innovative solutions to guarantee public safety, including well funded violence prevention initiatives need to tackle the root causes of crime. Our elected officials should promote policies that build trusting and respectful relationships with law enforcement, and make sure they have the resources they need to safely and effectively fulfill their duties.

Chuy said: "Our entire slate persevered and successfully swept their contests once again. " I will unravel that slate: U.S. House district 3: Delia Ramirez (IL house dist 4) Illinois House: in the 21st district, Abdelnasser Rashid beat Michael Zalewski in the 77th district Norma Hernandez beat Kathleen Willis as I confirm them, they will be edited into the above list.

2A4Cook Posted July 1, 2022 at 02:43 PM Share Posted July 1, 2022 at 02:43 PM And they're all leftists. Zalewski got redistricted to where the election would be won in Berwyn in one MAJOR gerrymander. Now the southwest portion of the district is stuck with a 32 year old marxist as its "representative." These maps are abominations meant to keep leftist Democrats in power in Illinois in perpetuity. I need to find a way out of this state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
