Wow, this Republican lady has gumption! She was illegally kicked OFF the ballot, but FOUGHT and got BACK ON by judge's order. SWEET! IL needs her in the state senate!
From Publius Forum: Backed by a new organization called "For the good of Illinois" Cedra Crenshaw, quickly became the target of the Chicago Machine. Cedra’s opponent, Sen. A.J. Wilhelmi (IL-43rd), unleashed top election lawyer, Michael Kasper, to unjustly knock Cedra off the ballot on a 2-1 party line vote by the Will County Board of Elections.
"For the Good of Illinois and our members quickly took action…
•Protests were held outside Sen. Wilhelmi’s office.
•Gov. Quinn and Sen. Wilhelmi were confronted face-to-face.
•Supporters stood by Cedra during court appearances.
•Article after article appeared in the Tribune and local papers.
•Several blogs appeared on Red State and Big Government.
•During an appearance on Hannity, Andrew Breitbart discussed Cedra’s race.
•Cedra made several radio appearances including WLS and WIND.
•Cedra also appeared on WGN and Fox & Friends.

We are pleased to announce that your hard work paid off. On July 21, 2010, a Will County judge overturned the Will County Electoral Board - placing Cedra back on the ballot. You took on the Chicago Machine and won. "
That's the spirit, Illinois! Go Cedra!
