I always vote for our local state representative who is a former colleague. Her opponents are always some spoiled trust fund brats and she is a normal person. But in this electoral cycle she’s doing everything to annoy me. Her campaign ads are everywhere and all she talks about in them is how much she supports Planned Parenthood. This gets on my nerves not because I don’t support Planned Parenthood, which after the “livers, we’ve got livers” video I definitely do not, but because abortion is not a problem in Illinois. We have the entire state border with Missouri decorated with billboards saying “Come to Illinois where abortion is easy.” What I’d like to hear instead is what she’s doing to make sure Illinoisans have a higher standard of living and have all the children they want. We are in a state of demographic collapse in Illinois because people are leaving in droves.
I so don’t want to vote for her opponent who is a multimillionaire heiress posing as “a small business owner.” But it’s getting so, I don’t think I’ll have a choice.

My representative in Congress is an odious, Chamber of Commerce Republican. I never imagined I could vote for him, or even not vote against him. But in 2020 his Dem opponent was the most vile individual ever, always doing things like posting videos of her reading picture books about pride parades to her children. For once, I was happy to see my congressman pull through. I’ll be rooting for him again this year, though his opponent isn’t quite as horrible as in 2020.
