House Republicans must be worried about Reick not winning.
Guess that poll didn’t come back with good results.
hardly AL-shake!

Republican Steve Reick v Democrat John Bartman for 63rd District State Representative.
Election November 8, 2016
++++++++
The 63rd District primary election, held March 15, 2016, had 3 candidates on the ballot.
Democrat Jack Franks, unopposed.
Democrat Jeffery Lichte filed with the State Board of Elections as a Republican, and ran as a Republican.
Republican Steve Reick.

The primary election featured a smear campaign against Steve Reick.
Jeffery Lichte did not have a PAC.
An independent expenditure PAC named Government for the People filed its D-1 Statement of Organization with the State Board of Elections (SBE) on March 7, 2016.
John Biesk signed the form.
Line 8 the name is printed BieSk
Line 9 the name is printed BieCk.
Who forgets how to print their name?
Did John Biesk really complete and sign that form?

On March 8, 2016, the Illinois Education Association (IEA) teacher union PAC (IPACE) reported sending a $12,500 contribution to Government for the People at the then Chicago address of Shaw Decremer, whom the Chicago Tribune in January 2016 called Michael Madigan’s top campaign aide.
The next day IPACE submitted a letter stating the address should have been the address listed on the D-1 Statement of Organization, which is an address in Naperville.

Don’t need a poll for that.
