Chicago Tribune Front Pages Tenth Dems 10th Congress. Story

The Chicago Tribune today ran a front-page story on the 10th Congressional District Democratic primary.



Here is the online version of the story. The photo from the online version was taken at the Tenth Dems-hosted debate on Sat., Feb. 25. This was held in conjunction with WCPT radio and was broadcast live. The Tenth Dems, however, aren't mentioned at all in the Tribune story. (I wonder why?)

But the candidates did get front-page treatment.

Who Says There's No Such Thing as a Free Lunch?

I am part of a grassroots group called the Tenth Dems, who are dedicated to helping Democrats from all levels of government get elected from the 10th Congressional District in Illinois. Tomorrow, they are hosting a lunch for prospective interns. They have a great track record with their interns, and it should be a good time. Here is the info:

Join Young Tenth Dems (along with former and future interns) on Saturday, January 2nd, at the Silo at 1 pm in Lake Bluff for free pizza and soft drinks. Help us usher in the new year with a new group and a new perspective!

Young Tenth Dems is a youth-led organization, sponsored by the Tenth Congressional District Democrats, whose aim is to connect like-minded young people in Illinois' 10th Congressional District. Young Tenth Dems promotes Democratic ideals, connecting students, schools and communities. In short, Young Tenth Dems provides an avenue for young people to make a difference here and beyond.

If you are still in school, are a former or prospective intern, or are under 30 years old and want to help elect Democrats, come for a free lunch, and learn more about how you can be involved and make a difference.

Tenth Dems is currently accepting applications for spring and summer internships. Upon completing the program, many interns have gone on to internships in Washington, to college majors in political science or law, or paid political and nonprofit positions locally and in Washington.

The 10th Congressional District includes all of the North Shore from Wilmette through Waukegan and extends as far west as Libertyville, Vernon Hills, and Buffalo Grove in Lake County, and Wheeling, Arlington Heights and Palatine in Cook.
