it comes to his young staff. I have worked with a few of them and watched them grow. I don't always agree with his decisions, but Durbin knows how to mentor people. Cheri Bustos was one of his. She is coming along quite nicely as a Congressman and getting into some leadership positions. She is in a difficult district, too. They voted for Trump there, but Bustos gets reelected. There are a lot of Democrats in her district, and a lot of union workers. That helps, but it still takes work to hang onto the voters there.

If I had a vote, I would go with Londrigan. Good luck, Laura, in your district. GOTV!
