Chicago Tribune Endorses Dan Seals (IL-10)

Last week, The Chicago Tribune editorial board endorsed Dan Seals in Illinois’ 10th Congressional District Democratic primary. In the endorsement annoucement, The Tribune called Dan “smart” and “well prepared” and praised him for having a “better grasp of local issues and concerns” than his primary opponent, Jay Footlik.

This important endorsement was followed by Dan’s big win in the Tenth Congressional District Democrats Convention Straw poll on January 20th. Dan easily defeated Jay Footlik 180-44, and recieved the endorsement of US Senator Dick Durbin during the event.

See Dan’s speech at the Tenth District Democrats Convention:

With the support of The Tribune and Senator Durbin, Dan has amassed an impressive list of edorsments including Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (IL-10), Congressman Jim Clyburn (SC-6), The Chicago-Sun Times, The Pioneer Press, and The Daily Herald.
