This upcoming election presents a rare opportunity. Because Jan Schakowsky and Dick Durbin have (finally) decided to leave, the ballot (finally) has some fresh faces. I’m not talking about the ones who desire a better place on the chess board. The ones who know the game is to raise the money for TV and hope the spots are clever enough to do the job. The ones who never knock on your door or show up at the corner coffeeshop or tavern.
AOC and Mamdani made it all the way. It’s so exciting when it happens. And so rare. I’m not expecting it to happen in Illinois, but I’m going to enjoy my vote. If you haven't heard of Kevin Ryan for Senate, I urge you to take a look. He’s for the “good things” we say we want and know we deserve and lament that we never seem to get. I haven’t looked that closely into Kat Abughazaleh for Congress, but I applaud her willingness to “run for something” like Michelle Obama urged us all to do.
And these two did.
