Opponent's claims untrue in 8th District race

Posted March 10, 2014 4:01 am

As many have seen in their mailboxes recently, Manju Goel and Indian Americans for Freedom have made baseless attacks against Larry Kaifesh in the 8th Congressional District race. Instead of talking about issues important to our country, they have confused voters about Col. Kaifesh's positions.

I have had the opportunity to meet Larry Kaifesh more than once and I can tell you that he is an outstanding individual and leader and has earned the endorsement of every single Republican Township organization in the 8th District. His opponent, Ms. Goel, has tried to smear him by saying he does not live in Illinois and that he supports amnesty; neither is true.

Having been born in Elgin and raised in Carpentersville and served our country on five tours of active duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, Larry Kaifesh has an outstanding background and the right temperament to represent the 8th District. I urge Republican voters to support Larry Kaifesh for Congress on March 18th.
