Peter Roskam Meets with Furture Constituents at Veterans Acres

The person most likely to win the new 6th Congressional District seat is incumbent Republican Peter Roskam.

He held a picnic at Veterans Acres, complete with petting zoo, Saturday afternoon.

Congressman Peter Roskam spoke to the crowd at Veterans Acres on Saturday afternoon.

A friend of McHenry County Blog estimates fifty people stopped by between 2 and 3:30.

He adds, “No occupy folks attended.”

To promote the event, Roskam’s campaign sent out a colorful invitation and Roskam’s wife Elizabeth called to invite residents.

At the end was a non-typical disclosure.  Something like, “I’m told I have to say that this was paid for by Citizens for Roskam.”

If it was supposed to catch people’s attention, it succeeded with me.
