Reflections on WTTW Gubernatorial Candidate Debates

Jeff Berkowitz's blog has a summary of the Gubernatorial debates which took place on WTTW Monday and Tuesday nights.

Justin Oberman for Treasurer

I met Justin Oberman at the Dan Seals Campaign office this past weekend. He is running for the office of Treasurer and was handing out information about his campaign. He mentioned that he has had some Mikva students volunteer at his city campaign headquarters. Below is his campaign contact info. If you are interested in volunteering, please use the following contact information, John Langford, Field Director, john@obermanforillinois.com .

Dan Hynes Suburban Canvassing Locations

For the final 3 weekends of the campaign calendar, Dan Hynes is canvassing in suburban locations. Below is the information for a couple locations that are somewhat close to our schools. Canvassing will start at these locations for the next 3 weekends, Saturdays 10:00-2:00 and Sundays 12:00-4:00. This is a good opportunity for suburban students to catch up with and volunteer for a state-wide campaign.
