Have you ever wanted to get all of the insider information as to how the fall elections are looking?
- Will the Republicans keep the House or will we get Speaker Pelosi?
- Will the leadership in the Senate change to Harry Reid and the Democrats?
- Can Judy Baar-Topinka beat Rod Blagojevich?
NFIB's Midwest Political Director, Kevin Hughes, is coming in from his Columbus, Ohio office to give Fox Valley Area Action Council members the low down on all the critical races. In addition to Kevin's presentation, there will be time for you to ask questions about the candidates, campaigns and likely outcomes.
The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, August 24th at 6:30pm. We will be meeting at Alarm Detection Systems' office at 1111 Church Road in Aurora. Many thanks to Bob Bonifas for hosting our group again.
