Sun-Times Endorses Tom Georges for the State Senate over Incumbent Dan McConchie

The Chicago Sun-Times has endorsed Tom Geroges over Republican incumbent Dan McConchie for the State Senate.

Here is the endorsement:

Tom Georges in the 26th District

Tom Georges

Tom Georges of Mundelein spent 31 years in the Army, achieving the rank of colonel.

Though a Democrat, he credits that experience with shaping him as a fiscal conservative.

“As a military officer, I was required to stay within my means,” he said in a meeting with the Sun-Times Editorial Board.

“I had to prioritize. I had to set my goals, set my objectives and stay within the financial means that I was given.”

Socially, though, Georges describes himself as progressive.

He vows to be a strong supporter of women’s rights and the rights of LGBTQ people.

That’s what separates him sharply from incumbent Dan McConchie, a conservative Republican from Hawthorn Woods.

Georges is endorsed.

  1. Haven’t seen so many colonels in one place since KFC hit its peak in the 70’s.

  2. Georges said he’d beat McConchie in a RUNNING race.

    Why has the kept media let that one go?
