Endorsement: Blair-Sherlock for Illinois House District 46

State Rep. Diane Blair-Sherlock is running for re-election after two terms as the representative from Illinois House District 46. The Villa Park Democrat votes almost exclusively in support of her party’s own issues, and she is rarely quoted in issues-based media stories. Still, her Republican opponent, Pedro Joveny Mendoza, also of Villa Park, has done little campaigning other than advocating on his website that residents over 65 should no longer have to pay property taxes.

We are giving Blair-Sherlock the edge here. An attorney by profession, the bills she has signed onto support gun safety, increased money for schools, including higher education, health care, veterans and protections for workers.

House District 46 is largely in DuPage County, with some Cook County communities, like Franklin Park. Blair-Sherlock is endorsed.
