Jill Morgenthaler’s Congressional Campaign in IL-06 has started to pick up momentum with additions/changes in staff, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) designation as a “targeted district” and a solid, if still needing to be ramped up, first full fundraising quarter quarter of over $200,000. The addition of experienced campaign manager Bill Romjue, who has worked for national and state Democratic campaigns since 1976, has helped the campaign, along with the addition of local Democratic staffers. Jill’s much improved website is likely a sign of better things to come – you can check it out at www.JillMorgenthaler.com. I plan to interview Jill Morgenthaler before too long – and look forward to hearing more about her campaign.

DON’T KNOW. THE WAY I SEE THIS IS, TIED IN WITH THE GOV. IS NOT A VERY GOOD SELLING POINT. SHOULD HAVE RAN A MODERATE WITH A BETTER TRACK RECORD. I LIKE TO SEE ROSAM GO ALSO. MAYBE IN 2010??

Anyone else think the timeline of her life is too much?
Posted 05 May 2008 at 10:20 am ¶Although Jill is a political novice, she brings interesting life experiences to the table. She, too, can ride the Obama wave of change. One minor marketing criticism: While her campaign colors are earthy and attractive, I’m not sure they’re right for a political campaign. If it were up to me, I would have chosen two shades of blue, as it keeps with our overall Democratic objectives for DuPage.
