Laesch represents hope for the 14th

Posted January 14, 2008 10:00 pm

Barack Obama's win in the Iowa caucuses showed Americans are ready for deep, progressive change in Washington.

The candidate for Congress in the 14th District who will offer that hope is John Laesch. I met him two years ago, when he ran against Dennis Hastert. John knew Congress was participating in status quo politics of power for a few, rather than hope for all Americans.

John values unity over divisive politics, action over status quo governance, the kind of governance that is represented by the former congressman from this district and the current administration in the White House.

Join the movement for change by voting Feb. 5 for the Navy veteran, union carpenter, socially and fiscally responsible John Laesch, in both the regular primary and the special election.
