Two people I think highly of are running for elected office. These are not the offices that attract a lot of attention. They are not glitzy but they are two of the offices that affect each and every one of our lives. Both of these individuals are solid, progressive Democrats. Both have asked for help with gathering signatures.
Andrea Raila is running for Cook County Assessor. She's a tax geek in the best sense of the word and is running against several candidates, most notably Joe Berrios, who is chairman of the county's Democratic Party and commissioner of the Cook County Board of Review.
Clint Krislov is running for State Comptroller. Clint is an attorney and is representing the IVI-IPO in its parking meter lease lawsuit. An experienced and savvy advocate, Clint is competing with Raja Krishnamoorthi and David E. Miller for the seat.
Between now and the end of the month, these candidates need to gather the extra signatures they need to fend off a challenge. Toward that end, I have a budget for passers and room on the team.
If you like walking, talking with people and making some money while making a difference, call me. I'll set you up. If you hustle, you can make $20 an hour. If you like to take things more leisurely, you'll earn less but either way, a few autumn hours spent chatting with neighbors will ensure you have a choice in February.
If you're interested, call me at 773-718-2822. I'll set you up with petitions, instructions, clipboards---the works. And, yes, the works includes chocolate ;-)
