Replying to @DonTracyForIL
@DonTracyForIL 's campaign reported nearly $169,000 from individual donors in Q3 and about $11,000 from political action committees representing GOP candidates or groups. That is not much support in a statewide race.

“Vice-President Vance said today that whether this ad by Vivek Ramaswamy was appropriate was not really his concern. Seriously? The question for all Republicans is whether this type of attitude is what we want leading our party going forward. For the last decade, our party has been infected by a corrupted moral center. Vance’s acceptance of this campaign ad only breathes life into the disease that we should be seeking to cure.”

Treat to watch. And they're just getting started. #Blackhawks
So great to reconnect with Joe Brand and meet Bill Bourque, the ol 29’er and two time Stanley Cup winner who are the radio team for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Joe did WGN radio and some of those early Sunday sports on the old radio show. Great to see deserving people succeed.
