Footlik has best chance to beat Kirk

Posted January 20, 2008 10:00 pm

The 10th Congressional District has been represented by a Republican in Congress for more than 50 years.

Jay Footlik represents the best chance to change that.

He is committed to withdrawing our troops from Iraq in a way that is responsible and safe, both for the region and for our own security.

Jay's background as a special assistant in the Clinton White House and a member of a think tank trying to achieve a lasting peace in the Middle East gives him unparalleled foreign policy expertise.

This allows Jay to compete more effectively against a Republican opponent than any other candidate. With Jay in office, not only will he be able to implement his ideas on foreign policy, but he will also be able to focus on Democratic values like health care, Social Security and our local economy.
