Des Plaines, IL, March 4, 2006--It was a great day for the progressive community in Illinois' 6th congressional district on Saturday as activists gathered for a major rally for PDA endorsed candidate Christine Cegelis at the IAM Local Lodge 1487 in Des Plaines. I was honored to be in a room with 150 energized and enthusiastic supporters who are all dedicated to electing Christine. [more]

Cegelis came closer to defeating Hyde than anyone in his 32 years in Congress, earning 44.2% of the vote in this traditionally Republican district. She is now the front runner for his open seat, against a former staff aide to Tom Delay, Peter Roskam. Roskam's positions are farther to the right than Hyde's. [more]
