Need some information on Rep Aaron Shock for my sister.

[DebJ]

She says she is 'confused' as to who to vote for.

I'm googling now but am a bit overwhelmed by the information overload.

Does anyone have a good website that isn't overly detailed or that sums up key votes?

I know she supports Democratic policies; she's just someone who doesn't pay attention to details
and is just sick of the Congressional mess, and so sick of the talk about it that she can't see the
blockages are all Republican.

1. I wish for the same roadmap. Wish I could help

But, hey, Lipinski claims to be a D, yet I bet he bleeds redder than some tea partiers.

2. Lipinski is the wrong district it looks like...3rd instead of 18th?

Or was there redistricting.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. No, i was making a comparison.

I should have been clearer.

3. Just found out his opponent is a DINO... Darryl Miller, a former Republican.

Guess there were no Democrats to run in this highly gerry-rigged district, so Miller switches to Dem just to get on the ballot.

Ugh.

5. they tried to do that to kelly westlund.

she shellacked him, but they wanted to prevent crossovers. so they stuff a guy in there.

i know the name, but remind me which district this is.

[DebJ]

7. 18th n/t

6. How about...

pointing out he's a showboat pol who is chatty but hates to vote...

From Jan 2009 to Sep 2014, Schock missed 220 of 4,416 roll call votes, which is 5.0%. This is worse than the median of 2.5% among the lifetime records of representatives currently serving. The chart below reports missed votes over time.

Meaning he's getting paid for not doing his job.

Plus his main campaign donor is the virulently anti-labor Caterpillar Corp. #2 is Nuke plant operator Exelon Corp-

And I know this if controversial, but I HATE self-loathing hypocritical Repugs who consistently vote for all the standard "anti" stuff.

The rumors that Aaron Schock, a young, handsome Republican congressman from Illinois who has a consistently anti-gay voting record, is gay himself has spurred debate over whether it’s appropriate to out the lawmaker.

The rumors, which have swirled online for years, picked up steam earlier in the month, when journalist Itay Hod posted on Facebook that a friend of his saw his roommate in the shower with Schock. Hod didn’t quite name the congressman, but the end of the message included a link to an americablog.com post titled “The 7 gayest Aaron Shock Instagram posts of 2013.” Schock quickly changed his Instagram account to private.
