State Senator Laura Fine’s response to Jan Schakowsky endorsement of Daniel Biss to succeed her in the Ninth Congressional race:
I have never backed down from a fight. Not when an insurance company was about to bankrupt my family, not when special interests tried to block the insurance reforms I passed, and I won’t back down now.
I respect Congresswoman Schakowsky’s service, but this race is about the future of our community, not the past. She’s wrong about Daniel Biss and my record shows that I’ll fight the hardest to protect residents in the 9th Congressional district from the billionaires and insurance companies that Donald Trump is determined to let screw us over.
