Mike Simmons for Congress
about 13 hours ago
One reason I got into this race is because Congress is broken and desperately out of touch with our neighbors. We DESERVE representation that meets people at their doors, in every corner of our big district. Sign up at
mikesimmons.org
to join this movement in the final stretch!

Oops! Looks like "Chicago Progressive Partnership" (the supposedly separate super PAC running this attack ad) just outed themselves and confirmed the speculation that it's the same group (AIPAC) behind the pro-Fine/anti-Biss super PAC "Elect Chicago Women" aka: ECW "ECW: You are now opted-out..."

Daniel Biss' campaign told me that he would not accept the lobby's support. Laura Fine's campaign, on the other hand, dodged the question, saying she “has the same rating as Daniel Biss and believes in common-sense regulation.” All Illinois questionnaire-submitters received an "A" rating. 8/9

We're hearing unconfirmable rapid response reports from this morning as well with a myriad of vehicles, including ones tied to Broadview Detention Center. We're also aware of the Airbus H125 'control' helicopter that has flown up the coastline.
