I do not know you or ur sister, and not being "from the Dark side does not necessarily translate in to being a Member of the Democratic Party.

which election she won w 71% of the vote, her first election.

it's gonna be exciting. dupage county used to be solid red. formerly represented in congress by henry hyde. but it has been trending blue for a while, and hillary won the county by 15.

The Twitter profile page says "candidate for co. board" and the name of the TOWN, Warrenville, IL.

Would be happy to tweet out some rah-rahs but would like to say candidate for WHICH county board?

And just maybe, a link to a campaign or candidate page where she describes herself in public service terms, what she wants to accomplish for the people of (whichever) county, etc.?

Will keep checking back, and do some push tweets.

helpfully,
Bright

last redistricting a couple of those suburban districts got more dem voters. jan schakowsky gave up some territory to even things out. she gets elected by 70%+ every time. she doesnt need them.
in fact, i go looking for fights elsewhere, usually. i worked for christine cegelis in both of her elections. we cracked that solid red, but not by enough to win. enough to make that old asshole henry hyde retire, tho.
hillary won the county by 15.
