With the primary for the Illinois 18th District special election happening tomorrow, final endorsements and candidate statements are being released. Today Texas Senator and GOP candidate for president Ted Cruz has endorsed conservative candidate Mike Flynn. Meanwhile, establishment candidate Darin LaHood has come out in support of President Obama’s Cuba policies.

Just as the Independence Day weekend neared, the 18th District’s establishment Republican candidate, Darin LaHood, appeared on a Chicago-based radio show claiming that all five local tea party groups in the state had endorsed his primary campaign to replace the disgraced establishment Republican Aaron Schock in the coming July 7 special election. But is this true?

As the days quickly count down to primary Election Day in the Illinois special election to replace disgraced 18th District congressman Aaron Schock, establishment candidate Darin LaHood’s team has been floating a push poll filled with lies about his opponent, conservative candidate Mike Flynn.

Word is quickly spreading through the Illinois 18th District that establishment candidate Darin LaHood is flush with lobbyist cash and that the special election to replace disgraced Rep. Aaron Schock is quickly becoming a race between LaHood’s big money K Street donors and grassroots Tea Party favorite Mike Flynn.

During the second debate for the Illinois 18th District special election, establishment GOP candidate Darin LaHood told voters that he would vote “no” on a series of issues that his deep-pocketed donors are pushing hard to get passed.

During last week’s debate in the Illinois 18th District special election, establishment GOP candidate Darin LaHood claimed that he would have voted against President Obama’s fast track trade deal. Yet this is the same candidate who took hundreds of thousands and endorsements from the very organizations pushing the trade deal. How can he be both their man and run against their key issue?

Establishment Republican Darin LaHood is running to replace disgraced Congressman Aaron Schock in the Illinois 18th District special election and is claiming to be an “outsider” and a “conservative.” However, his donation filings show he has taken in up to $3,500 from the liberal, Clinton-linked lobbyist organization, the Podesta Group.

Mike Flynn, a candidate for the 18th District special election to fill the seat vacated by the disgraced Illinois Congressman Aaron Schock, has released his first TV commercial painting his opponent, establishment Republican Darin LaHood, as a “fat cat.”

In the race for the Illinois 18th District’s special election, GOP establishment candidate Darin LaHood finally agreed to face his challenger. But after he evaded a question during the event, a local reporter tried to ask the candidate about the issue as he left the venue. Instead of getting an answer, LaHood’s campaign manager rushed forward and physically attacked the reporter, pushing him away from the candidate. Now the reporter has filed charges.

“If you love big bank bailouts, loved the Obama stimulus, love corporate welfare for big defense contractors, and loved Obama’s executive amnesty, then evidently, you should vote for Darin LaHood. If you’re for limited government, lower taxes, free market competition, and securing the border first, then it’s clear: You should vote for me,” Mike Flynn says.

Republican state senator Darin LaHood helped to perpetuate a cycle of crony capitalism and donor back-scratching by voting for a bill that benefited both his law firm and campaign donors at taxpayers’ expense, according to a study of his votes, law firm payments, and campaign contributions.

Whatever LaHood’s polls show, the race between the two now seems to be heating up with the dirty tricksters hitting targeting Flynn this week. Take the recent “endorsement” from a fake gay group that was deployed to upset Illinois social conservatives, for instance.

The most pressing budget issue that the State of Illinois faces is its spiraling public pension debt. The problem is proving difficult to fix, not necessarily because the legislature refuses to try to fix it — though they are doing darn little — but because the problem is ensconced in the state’s Constitution, causing the state Supreme Court to rule against any changes in the pensions.

Candidates in Illinois are jockeying for the position to replace now-resigned Congressman Aaron Schock in the Illinois 18th Congressional District. But one candidate, whose family is firmly entrenched in the Illinois GOP establishment, has a history of incompetence and, at least once, revealed anti-gun sentiments.
