Candidate Facebook Weekend: Anthony, Bost, Proctor, Emanuel, Tunney, Rauner, Schimpf, Senger

Including this one, there's just four more Monday's before Election Day on Tuesday, November 4th here in Illinois.  That means just four more "Candidate Facebook Weekend" posts!

As we usually do every Monday, let's see what candidates for office were up to this weekend around Illinois:

State Representative John Anthony was out - with his wife - meeting voters door-to-door- in his district.

Congressional candidate Mike Bost hosted a fish fry in Anna where he had a great turnout and what looks like a pretty tasty sheet cake!

Andrew Proctor - who is running for Springfield City Alderman was out rounding up signatures to get him on the ballot for the Spring election.  Good to see Andrew out there working!

Mayor Rahm Emanuel brought together the Cubs and Alderman Tom Tunney (who was fighting every step of the way in this process) and the official ground-breaking of the Wrigley renovations.  Kerry Wood was too cool to take off his shades!

Gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner was out early at Bennison's Bakery in Evanston to pick up some sweet treats and meet voters.

Illinois Republican Attorney General nominee Paul Schimpf was up in Lake County to speak to the Republican organization and get them fired up to beat "The Madigan Machine."

Congressional candidate Darlene Senger was out with her crew knocking on doors in Plainfield to round up the vote in her race against do-nothing Congressman Bill Foster.

Candidate Facebook (Labor Day) Weekend: Anthony, Davis, Sandack, Schimpf, Senger, Rutherford

It isn't Monday, but since this is the first day of the week that the editorial team is back in the saddle here at the Truth Team, we still wanted to run through the weekend on Facebook.  Labor Day is a time for parades and a time to formally kick-off the campaign season!  Let's get after it.

State Representative John Anthony had a big crowd at the Lisbon Labor Day Parade.

Congressman Rodney Davis continues to hit the parade circuit hard, this time in Pana for their Labor Day Parade.

State Representative and rising star Ron Sandack put together a nice crew (in the rain!) for Naperville's Last Fling parade.  Nice orange!  Glad to see Senator Mark Kirk out at the parade, too!

GOP AG candidate Paul Schimpf continues to barnstorm the state with his team.  They look like they put together a nice showing in Millstadt.

Congressional Candidate Darlene Senger knows where the voters are:  they're at the critical JCA vs. Providence football game.  Pretty smart move to be there, in our opinion.

Finally, we're excited to see Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford back in the political saddle:  this time in his hometown parade.

Candidate Facebook Weekend: Schimpf, Schneider, Anthony, Simon

Let's take a spin around Facebook walls of candidates in Illinois to see what they were up to this weekend.

First up, Illinois Attorney General candidate Paul Schimpf who turned out a crew for the Columbia Daze parade.

Congressman Brad Schneider took on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.  (have we had enough of these yet, folks?!?)

State Representative John Anthony was out meeting voters and putting in yard signs.

Lt. Governor and Comptroller Candidate Sheila Simon took some time to officiate a marriage.

And Illinois State Treasurer Dan Rutherford kept a low profile.  The last post on his wall was Friday when he stopped by the Old State Capitol.
