As the master of soft selling I rarely come out and put my name behind someone. I'm willing to stake my reputation as a risk to better all of Illinois. I have the ability to support someone I've known for years.
Donna Kelly is running for Appellate Judge position in the 2nd circu
it in Illinois. I spent three years with Donna in law school and had the priviledge of working together with Donna for a the public defender's office while in our third year of law school. Fortunately for both of us, we left the dark side and moved to the State's Attorney's office and Donna made a career out of being head and shoulders above others in her profession.

Although Donna and I haven't been in contact, I can say that she has succeeded in her career as a prosecutor. Having Donna as our Appellate Judge would be something that both Republicans and Democrats would be proud of.
Her career speaks for herself. Her Ethics? Her Experience? The best of the best. She has the passion that no other candidate could ever contain. She's passionate about serving Illinois, but has the ethics to do it.
DON'T FORGET...EARLY VOTING STARTS JANUARY 11TH, 2010!!!!
