NILES, IL--October 27, 2010: Jan Schakowsky's new television commercial features electrician Alan Sindelar. But it doesn’t tell the whole story.The Pollak campaign has a new ad.
The facts about Sindelar reveal that Schakowsky's not fighting for workers--she’s fighting for her political cronies, including Sindelar.
Sindelar is a Democrat insider with close ties to the party machine:
Sindelar is the Treasurer of "Citizens for Elaine Nekritz," the official campaign committee for State Representative Elaine Nekritz (D-57) (http://tinyurl.com/2bsf9v5)
"As usual, she's fighting for Democrat insiders. Her policies are destroying the middle class. The people of the 9th district deserve a fresh start."
- Sindelar filed a successful ballot challenge against Nekritz's Republican opponent in 2006, Wayne Berzon, who was struck off the ballot (http://tinyurl.com/2dxejlx)
- Sindelar ran for Assessor in Maine Township in 2005 as a Democrat against Republican Tom Rueckert, and lost (http://tinyurl.com/25nakav)
- Sindelar was paid $1000 in January 2010 by Blagojevich appointee Bill Brandt, Chair of the Illinois Finance Authority, as Brandt began his campaign for 10th District Democratic State Central Committeeman (http://tinyurl.com/276trl9)
- Sindelar and his wife have donated thousands of dollars to individual Democrats and party organizations over the past several years (search http://tinyurl.com/22mdeoo)
- Sindelar has been paid for consulting work by the Maine Township Regular Democratic Organization (search http://tinyurl.com/2dcdrfj)
- "Jan Schakowsky's not fighting for workers, much less for people who are looking for work," said Joel Pollak, Republican challenger in the 9th congressional district.
