We did it!  Your hard work and dedication truly made a difference yesterday.  Every hour you volunteered, voter you called, door you knocked, letter you wrote, and dollar you contributed built our victory last night. It was a true grassroots movement that would not have been possible without your support.  My family and I have never been so proud and humbled–and we have you to thank.

The voters of the 10^th District had the opportunity to elect two other great candidates: Julie Hamos and Elliot Richardson. I would like to thank them for making this race an opportunity to talk about the issues and how to make this world a better place for generations to come.

I look forward to the conversation we will have on the issues in the coming months. I believe the voters of the10^th District want a leader that will focus on moving this country forward instead of trying to return to the policies of the last Administration.  So I will focus my efforts on policies that will help get people back to work; build our educational system, make healthcare more affordable, develop sustainable energy sources, and reduce our national debt.

Unfortunately, we know too well what the other side has planned.  We are likely to see many personal attacks, innuendo, and half-truths instead of genuine debate on the issues.  These tactics are designed to distract us from the problems we all face.  But if we keep our focus and keep working hard I know we will see great things happen in November

Again, thank you for the tremendous work you did in the Primary.  Now it’s time to move forward.

Momentum is on our side!  We have hundreds of supporters out in the snow in polling locations and going door to door as well as full phone banks in all of our offices across the district.  The amount of widespread support Dan has continues to be truly moving and inspirational.

Dan Seals has the endorsement of every local Democratic Township Organization that made an endorsement in this race- New Trier, Wheeling, Vernon, Waukegan, Shields, and Libertyville. Along with those endorsements, he has received the endorsements of the Illinois Federation of Teachers and the Daily Herald (and many many more). Dan has the support of the voters of the 10th District because they know he will get men and women back to work and increase local economic development.

Make sure to get out and vote for Dan Seals today.  If you would like to help continue our get out the vote efforts or need a ride to the polls, give us a call at 847-945-8900.

This past Saturday Dan Seals sponsored a Healthy Kids Cook Off where kids from across the district participated in a cooking contest to learn more about nutrition and eating right.  Participants had healthy ingredients and 7 minutes to put together a healthy snack.  Judges from local restaurants and Action for Healthy Kids judged the snacks on nutrition, creativity, and overall appearance.  Each participant took away ideas for nutritious snacks and healthy habits!

The momentum is incredible.  The feedback has been tremendous.  The movement has been insurmountable.  And it’s all because of you.

As integral parts of Team Seals, you’ve knocked on doors, called voters, attended events, written letters to your friends and family, and energized the campaign.  This has been a truly grassroots campaign powered by the people; powered by you.  The personal time and sacrifice each and every one of you has made to elect Dan Seals is truly amazing and deeply appreciated.

But, the job isn’t quite finished yet.  We need your help to get voters to the polls tomorrow.

The political pundits have said all along that Dan has the name ID (i.e. more voters know and like Dan) in this race and that he is the guy to beat tomorrow, but you understand why Dan is really ahead in the polls.  He has the best experience to get people back to work and increase local economic development.  He stands up for our progressive values and doesn’t stop until the job is done.  He fights for his convictions and listens to you and your concerns for the district and the nation.  This is the type of representative we want and need here in the 10th.
