Green candidate survives petition challenge
Daily Herald - It turns out Dan Kairis is pretty tight with his family and friends after all. It appears the Green Party candidate will keep his place on the ballot in the race for the 14th Congressional District.
"The vast majority of the 62 signatures Kairis has on his petitions are people he is either related to or knows personally . . . That didn't stop an attempt seemingly fueled by Illinois Democratic Party officials to get Kairis tossed from the ballot for invalid signatures."
"Kairis said, although it appears he'll keep his spot, he's frustrated by the drain on taxpayer dollars and resources the challenge caused because the whole ordeal, in his opinion, was a big waste of time."
