On Friday, John Pavich, former CIA officer, received the endorsement of the Peoria Journal Star over Congressman Jerry Weller. This is the first newspaper endorsement in the district. Hopefully, John will receive many others including the endorsements from the Chicago newspapers.
The Peoria Journal Star states:
If voters in the 11th Congressional District believe in holding politicians accountable for their promises, they won't re-elect Republican incumbent Jerry Weller, who got swept into Congress with the legendary Contract With America class of 1994.
Instead, they should vote for Democrat John Pavich...

John is a great, young candidate who deserves our support. He has raised over $500,000 without DCCC support to date. He is in a district that is heavily labor and seniors. It is a district that voted twice for Bill Clinton. Gore and Kerry barely lost here. You can learn more about him at:
