Karin Norington-Reaves Files 1,400 Petitions to Get on Ballot (Springfiled, IL)— Candidate for Congress Karin Norington-Reaves filed more than 1,400 petition signatures today at the State Board of Elections. The number is well beyond the 400 required to appear on the June ballot. Karin and her campaign collected signatures, using volunteers, from Channahon to Chatham, Bronzeville to Blue Island and beyond to connect with voters. Whether knocking on doors or frequenting local shops, Karin listened and learned about the issues that are most important to the people who live, work, and run businesses in the 1st District.
“I’m so proud of the work my team and I put in across the district, meeting constituents and bringing our message of a more inclusive economy and safer streets,” said Karin Norington-Reaves. “Citizens of the First District have a choice of what type of leader they want to represent them in Congress, and I am hearing so much enthusiasm for my proven record as a job creator, public servant, and change agent. I’m humbled by the support and their belief in my candidacy and it’s their energy that is going to carry us to victory in June and again in November.”
