Duckworthy.

Happy Birthday to Ladda Tammy Duckworth.

Please read up on her and her opponent in the upcoming election. Last go-around the margin of victory was around 4000 votes. In the Chicagoland area, where the perception is that machine politics have cut the average voter out of the decision making process, we have a prime example of a clear choice between two very different candidates. 

Notably, the current Representative has been "drawn out of the district" since being elected. I only stated the voter still has a choice, not that the machine isn't trying to take to away.

You probably already know about this birthday Player.

But…

It's your last chance to get to know Kent Conrad, because he already told us he's not gonna run again.
