Footlik v. Seals

By Jennifer Siegel June 20, 2007

It turns out that Jay Footlik, the former Clinton aide running for Congress in the 10th district of Illinois, will have a primary opponent. Dan Seals, who nearly upset U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk in last year’s election, announced today that he will run again.

Meanwhile, Josh Kraushaar of the Politico has a post up about the major Jewish donors who are helping raise funds for Footlik.

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
