“We have so many extraordinary local leaders in northern Illinois – teachers, veterans, local business owners, and more – who have stepped up to serve our community. I’m delighted to endorse this cohort of exceptional local candidates,” Underwood said in the release. “Running a campaign is hard work, whether you’re running for school board, mayor, or Congress, and you cannot do it alone. I am committed to helping these candidates run strong campaigns. Together, we’ll continue building the northern Illinois we all dream of.”
