Just a reminder that in Illinois you can register at the polls when you go to vote. Just make sure you bring the required 2 forms of ID (one with your home address).

    No matter what happens vote in the primary.

    It's more important than ever because having a majority doesn't mean shit if a handful obstruct.

    So we have to ensure every seat has the best person possible, regardless of if they're already in office or not
