DMFI PAC today congratulated all five of its endorsees who prevailed in Illinois primaries on Tuesday. Five candidates will advance to the November general election: Melissa Bean (IL-08), Nikki Budzinski (IL-13), Donna Miller (IL-02), Rep. Brad Schneider (IL-10), and Rep. Eric Sorensen (IL-17).
Brian Romick, Chair of DMFI PAC, said: “DMFI PAC congratulates Melissa Bean, Nikki Budzinski, Donna Miller, Brad Schneider, and Eric Sorensen on their primary victories. We are proud to support this strong group of leaders as they head into the general election and play a pivotal role in taking back the House for Democrats.”
“All five candidates that DMFI PAC endorsed in Illinois prevailed last night, and these results underscore that candidates who are grounded in Democratic values, committed to a strong U.S.-Israel relationship, and are able to connect with a broad coalition of voters are well-positioned to succeed in November. We look forward to working alongside them to win a Democratic majority in the House.”
