This blog entry is written from the
perspective of someone who has volunteered for Mel Ferrand and will
continue to volunteer for Ferrand. I encourage voters to write-in
“Mel Ferrand” when they vote in the Democratic Primay for
Illinois 40th State Representative.
Last night Old Irving Park Association
and other community groups held a candidate forum for candidates in
the 40th district. All candidates attended: Rep. JaimeAndrade, Ferrand, Aaron Goldstein, Wendy Jo Harmston, Mark Pasieka
and Nancy Schiavone.
I have seen all these candidates when
they appeared at Northside DFA. And I created online surveys where
NDFA members came to the point of view that Ferrand was the right
candidate to endorse. Some NDFA voting members loved her, most liked
her and no one was opposed to her.
I felt like Goldstein performed the
best at the candidate forum. He was passionate. He seemed to have
thought about the issues. And he was just the best public speaker.
