This blog is a short update from the Hoffman for Illinois U.S. Senate campaign. We also hope that you watch the ABC 7 televised debate tonight, which is being streamed live here: http://abclocal.go.com/.... David Hoffman will be debating Alexi Giannoulias - who has ducked debates and multi-candidate forums - and other U.S. Senate candidates at 7:00 p.m. (CST).
This week, Hoffman earned endorsements from the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, and the Daily Herald. All of these newspapers saw David as the clear reformer with a proven record of taking on corruption.
The endorsements included glowing reviews of his 16 years of public service, highlighted by the Tribune’s description of David as, "an incorruptible man who tells the truth to power."
This week, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, and the Daily Herald all endorsed David Hoffman for the U.S. Senate. Momentum is shifting our way. The following are excerpts from their endorsements:
Hoffman is what Illinoisans deserve -- and should expect -- in a United States senator. He's an incorruptible man who tells truth to power, and his commitment to open and honest government is unquestioned.
-Chicago Tribune
In Hoffman, the voters have a candidate with a wealth of experience and integrity, who has produced in every job he has had. Everybody talks about the need for more independence, smarter thinking and greater integrity in Washington. Here's your chance.
-Chicago Sun-Times
It's a sorry chapter in Illinois political history and especially for Democrats. So as they go to the polls Feb. 2, we believe it's important to look at who can best put aside the taint of the last few years and move forward. We believe that person is David Hoffman.
-Daily Herald
These newspapers and thousands of Illinois voters believe David Hoffman is the best candidate to keep President Obama's former Senate seat in Democratic hands.
