It’s parade season! Last Sunday it climbed to the mid-90s in Dixon during the 43rd annual Petunia Festival Parade according to Sauk Valley Newspapers. Democratic 14th congressional candidates Jotham Stein and John Laesch made up two of the over 125 parade entries.

Jotham’s five year old son Gershon led the way for the Stein Campaign, passing out stickers to the kids lining the parade route. The campaign reports that Jotham and the orange clad Stein Campaign volunteers were very well received by the crowd, despite being in heavily Republican Lee County.

Among Republicans, Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns and State Senator Chris Lauzen, both waiting for Republican Congressman Dennis Hastert to officially decide whether he will retire before they jump in the race, walked with the Lee County Republican organization.
