I’ve always been a fan of Mike Quigley. And I hope that everyone turns out on April 7, for the special election to fill the Representative seat vacated by Rahm Emanuel.
I just can’t believe the throwback that the GOP slated to run for the job. Championing concealed weapons-in Chicago-now, that is a good idea!
Redstate [belch] gives us some background on their horse in the race:
On the hot buttons she stands in favor of the 2nd Amendment, including voicing a support for concealed carry laws. She is pro-life and feels that abortion "harms women" in more ways than physically. She is for school choice. She is also for low taxes, as well, saying that Chicago is strangling its citizenry with overburdening taxation. She said she feels the 5th District is forced into "taxation without representation" since Mayor Richard Daly seems to be able to impose his will with abandon. On the bailouts Pulido insists that it is wrong headed to imagine we can "spend our way to a balanced budget."

Sidetrack is hosting a "Meet your next Congressman" event at 7:00 PM on March 24. All three candidates are listed "invited". My guess is that Rosanna Pulido will have a prior commitment (if she even knows how to get to Lakeview).
Here are some resources related to early voting.
