Represents best qualities

The 14th District constituents deserve the quality of representation that Lauren Underwood has brought to the U.S. House of Representatives. She is the true embodiment of the qualities that we should all aspire to. She listens to, cares about and represents all constituents of the 14th District.

She has an infectious smile, positive attitude and calm demeanor. But this has not stopped her from working hard and fighting for the issues that are important to her constituents. With her background in nursing and health care she has focused on bringing down the cost of prescription drugs, supporting fair coverage of preexisting conditions and other issues important to the 14th District and the Nation.

She is capable of and works well reaching across the aisle to work with honest Republicans. This is in stark contrast to the dark and negative perennial candidate Jim Oberweis, who has failed five out of six times running for a state or federal elective office.

Oberweis is following in Trump's footsteps with his "attack" ads against Underwood as pointed out by the Daily Herald, Sun-Times and BGA PolitiFact Illinois. He uses lies and misrepresentations to attack his opponents. He has called Rep. Underwood a radical socialist and even mocked her nursing credentials.

The Chicago Sun-Times displays the headline" Fact-check: No beauty in Oberweis' milking of Underwood's answer to 'rioting and looting' question." This is just the tip of the iceberg. Despite his false and misleading ads, his campaign says they will stay up. They know they are lying, but they don't care. Anything to gain power.

Oberweis supports Trump and his authoritarian regime. The 14th District deserves a positive, honest and hardworking representative to represent us in Washington. Please join with us in supporting and sending Lauren back to Washington.
