OK, so maybe the show isn't prime time, but Ilya Sheyman is definitely ready for prime time and the very savvy panel this morning on MSNBC's Up With Chris Hayes was obviously impressed by this extraordinary, principled, progressive candidate in the Democratic primary for the nomination to run against 1st term Republican incumbent, Robert Dold, to occupy the 10th district seat in the next Congress. Are you looking for a bold progressive, who yearns to put this country back to work, who wants to start rebuilding the American middle class and who has a proven track record of fighting for the American Dream? You have found him. Take a look.

A full transcript of the segment is not yet available. But Ilya's closing remark says everything anyone here at the Great Orange Satan ought to need to know about this remarkable young man:
If you run strongly with backbone for the values of middle class families, that's a pathway to victory, and ultimately that's a pathway to actually governing the country and making the changes we need to make.
Ilya is where we want to be and where we need America to be on just about every issue important to Kossacks --Tax Justice? Check. Medicare for All? Check. Rebuilding Infrastructure? Check. There's no sense repeating the full list here as his
Issues page is quite comprehensive.
I am honored to live in the IL-10 and have the opportunity to volunteer for and financially support this extraordinary young leader. If you, dear reader, are anywhere in or near Chicagoland come on over and help. We just opened our 2nd campaign office in Highland Park at 734 Central Avenue. The American Dream IS worth fighting for and so is this candidate.
