Mike Quigley Endorses Jeff Smith in IL-18


December 18, 2009

"I enthusiastically support Jeff Smith for state representative in the 18th District. I've known Jeff for many years, first as a reform-minded Democratic committeeman, then as a civic-minded attorney, and most recently as a community organizer. Anyone who has followed his career knows that Jeff is the smart, idealistic, and courageous kind of leader we need in  Illinois government right now. He knows the law, but more important, he knows people, and cares deeply about how unfair tax policy treats working families and small businesses.

"In the 18th District race, Jeff has an unmatched lifetime record of fighting for real political change. He was speaking out about TIF reform long before it was headline news. He shares my commitment to  green jobs and a new energy economy, and sees the big environmental picture as few in politics do. For a candidate with real vision of how  to clean up and green up Illinois, look no farther than Jeff Smith."
