Kirk shows care and compassion

I am writing to enthusiastically support the re-election efforts of our congressman, Mark Kirk.

Having had the opportunity to get to know the congressman over the years by assisting in his re-election efforts, I particularly applaud the congressman's efforts on matters of women's health.

Having had a relative recently pass away from breast cancer, it is refreshing to know that we have an advocate in our congressman, Mark Kirk, who has pushed for more research to combat diseases such as cancer and juvenile diabetes.

His compassion and care for the constituents is so reflective of his leadership for the voters of the 10th Congressional District.

I strongly encourage the voters of this great district to join me in sending this dedicated lawmaker back to D.C. in November.
