Let’s not kid ourselves friends, most of our New Year’s resolutions ended two weeks ago with our first whiff of [insert favorite calorie-laden food here].
But, it’s not too late to set a 2014 goal that will last much longer than your next craving for deep dish by donating to our January Reformer of the Month, Illinois State Rep. Christian Mitchell, as he fights for re-election.
By clicking here to donate as little as $5-$25 or as much as $500 to Rep. Mitchell’s campaign you can make a resolution to re-elect a proven DFER to our Statehouse!
Christian, who was elected to the 26th district of Illinois’ House of Representatives in 2012, has made it a priority to improve our schools, make our streets safer, and create jobs. He has also led the fight for education funding reform and the replication and expansion of high-quality charter schools in our state.
But, he now faces a tight race against a radical opponent working to derail his hard work. Mitchell’s challenger is attempting to make support for charter schools a poison pill for our legislators. So, we need your help to keep Christian in office. Click here to support him now!
Raised by a single mother who was a nurse and his grandfather, a union steelworker, Christian was inspired to devote himself to public service. Before stepping into office, he worked with Attorney General Lisa Madigan, 4th Ward Alderman Will Burns, and Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle, all bona fide ed reformers working to improve the lives of Illinois’ families.
The re-election of Rep. Mitchell will ensure the presence of a strong education champion in the Statehouse who will fight for what’s best for kids for years to come. Click here to donate now!
Any contribution, large or small, will help Christian in this pivotal race. Let’s start 2014 with a resolution you know you can keep. Donate here to support his efforts today!
Thanks for standing with our kids!
