Is the 19th Ward Machine in trouble?

Fran Hurley
Detective Shaved has spoken. Chicago Democrats are poised to extend their control over Southland state legislative seats in unprecedented fashion this year.

Typical of the makeover created by House Speaker Michael Madigan’s remap is the Democratic primary election for the 35th House District seat.

“The Democratic Party picked the secretary of the 19th Ward alderman and decided to run her for a House seat that would represent Worth, Palos Heights, Orland Park and Orland Hills as well as the 19th Ward,” said Andrew Byrne Hodorowicz, of Palos Heights, the only suburban candidate running in the Democratic primary. “She has no prior experience except that she worked for (former 19th Ward) Ald. Ginger Rugai and now works for Matt O’Shea.”

Indeed, Frances Ann Hurley touts her experience as an aldermanic aide, claiming that she was responsible for constituent services in the 19th Ward office. There she shared office space with 19th Ward politicians such as former state Rep. Kevin Joyce (D-Chicago) and Matt O'Shea.

Also running in the new 35th District Democratic primary is Anthony R. Martin, a resident of the Mount Greenwood community and a Chicago fire lieutenant.

    Fran may be beautiful but she is a ditz. If she loses, that may be (should be) the end of Matt O'Shea. He didn't do his homework in picking her.

    I cannot believe that O'Shea is calling the shots here. The candidates that he has backed are so out of the mainstream in terms of our neighborhood values.

    Bill Cunningham- hard core supporter of gay rights, abortion and deficit spending. Where did this guy come from? None of this reflects our neighborhood values. Why is he supporting this crap.
    Tom Dart-get tough sheriff, tough on puppy mills, cemetery abusers, west side whores and gay rights inside his jail. This guy had 20 lawyers on staff and 5 PR people. When will he be told to do his job and only his job?

    Ed Maloney-this is a guy with 3 or 4 government pensions, his wife has 2 government pensions and their sons are all on the dole too. At least 2 of them have government jobs. Now we are starting to hear that he rewarded Fran Hurley's son with scholarship. When does any of this end?

    Fran Hurley-a secretary to an alderperson and a state rep and she is qualified to represent us in Springfield? What about her pro abortion position? What about the scholarship to her son?

    Again, each of these people are freaks by any standard. I don't believe that O'Shea had a say on their selection. I ask WHO is really calling the shots?

    Its easy to blame Madigan for everything but you have to remember Illinois politics has been tahen over by a bunch of liberals with extreme taste. Abortion, gay rights, etc. Maybe he is partly at blame for some this but maybe he has done something to keep the extemes at bay too.

  13. This is an idea. We know the only way to beat these slugs is to vote republican. That for now will show them we mean business. Who is therepublican candidate in the general election? Who is the weakest candidate? We stuff the ballot box just like those bastards from the old days only we 're doing it legitimately. No lawn signs, let them spend there money but not on us. We also need some research into the state constitution. We need to get some referendums for either recalls or term limits. We need this of these rat bastards will bury Illinois. We are already working on Chitroit and Illigan next. Any and all suggestions welcome. Beat these bastards....

    I'd be interested in any of the candidates offering their position on cuts to pensions.
    I have seen nothing from either.
