Congratulations to the Indian American community as they celebrate 64 years of independence. I was honored to be part of this celebration. On Friday I joined leaders of the Indian American community and also dignitaries from the Indian government at the flag raising ceremony at the Daley Center. I had an opportunity to address the community at the Independence Day Banquet.
Saturday was a great day as the campaign started bright and early at the Boone County Fair in Belvidere. Thanks to Boone County Republican Chairman George Crawford for his dedication in supporting our candidates.
Laura Pollastrini did a great job organizing the Tri County Tea Party event in Bartlett. Over 250 people braved the heat to hear our Governor candidate Bill Brady, State Senator John Millnor, myself and many more.
I also stopped by the Northbrook Victory Center…Congratulations to Tony Esposito for directing a center that has been among the top centers in the country in reaching out to voters.
Senator Chris Lauzen, wife Sarah and his entire family hosted a wonderful picnic in Aurora. Over 700 of the Senator’s closest friends were there and a host of candidates. The food was great and the company was better.
The final event on Saturday was a fundraiser for the Golden Hope Foundation. This wonderful organization raises money to support children all over the world. They have recently built schools in Nigeria and Haiti. Congratulations to my good friend Beatrice…who is the President and Founder of the organization. It was an honor for me to address this organization.
