[HRC reminds me that I somehow didn’t publicly post this. It doesn’t happen often, but on occasion something doesn’t get out of draft form that needs a bit of tweaking and should go out - and that’s what happened here. Thanks for reminding me.]
From Democrat Ruben Zamora’s campaign:
“There will be a congressional primary on March 21. The voters will have a choice.
We received the official recommendation from the hearing officer late Monday evening. The petition challenge was not sustained. We have enough signatures to stay on the ballot. The recommendation is official, pending the State Officers Election Board ruling on Friday.
A huge thank you to all of you who signed affidavits, who collected affidavits, and who pitched in to help us gather the evidence we needed to prove the validity of our petition signatures. Thanks to all of you who were willing to help, but could not reach me (due to the incorrect phone number listed in a previous email). Thanks for the outpouring of support. I am truly humbled.
Now, it’s time to work on the good stuff, getting our message out to the people of the 14th District. This is why we fought the petition challenge instead of folding. There are people out there who need representation. The disadvantaged and marginalized people may have had their signatures challenged as invalid, but they are a valuable part of my campaign.”
Ruben Zamora also makes a pitch for funds - the legal challenge cost him quite a bit. Tomorrow there’s a fundraiser in Sandwich for Ruben. You can also donate here.
With the challenge out of the way, Ruben and fellow Democrat John Laesch will battle in the primary with the victor to face Congressman Dennis Hastert.
