“This gave her the opportunity to travel the world, including a trip to Afghanistan and Iraq, paid for at her own expense, at the invitation of the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture.

She has served on the executive boards of many local organizations, including the Peoria YWCA, the Nature Conservancy, Great Rivers Regional Board, Youth for a Cause, Peoria Children’s Home, University of Illinois Alumni Association, and Morton Community Bank. She has also served as a member of the St. Francis Medical Center Women’s Health Services Public Relations Committee, and is a member of the National Association of Women Business Owners. She was the first female President of the National Association of Farm Broadcasters (NAFB), and was chairman of the NAFB Ethics Committee.

Her family has been active in politics for a long time. Her father, Fran Callahan, was Iroquois County Democratic Chair. Her grandfather, Joe Callahan, was an Illinois State Representative. Her uncle, Gene Callahan, was the Administrative Assistant and Press Secretary for Lieutenant Governor Paul Simon and Chief of Staff for Senator Alan Dixon.”

Shock wins this election 60/40.

all I know about her is that …. wait I know almost nothing about her.

you know everything she thinks about the candidacy of Aaron Schock…

And, not that I think Schock is any better, what in the world is she doing by bringing up the GWOT, Iran, Iraq-Afghanistan, and the situation in Georgia? There is nothing in her professional or educational background let alone her platform that makes her the least bit qualified to make those kinds of decisions either.

If you are going to send out a piece outlining your opponent’s lack of experience you might want to do so based on a set of issues you can contrast them on, not a set of issues that make you look just as inexperienced.
