Judith Ross on TV: Taking on Coulson
Judith-Rae Ross [D-Skokie, 17th Dist. Candidate]: It [the Michele Bromberg 17th Dist. 2004 campaign] was a poorly constructed negative campaign. And, that’s one thing. There is a difference. I’ve been in politics for forty years.
Berkowitz: Was it a race baiting campaign? Was that going on in Bromberg’s campaign? You know, things going out [as mailers]—
Judith-Rae Ross: Yeah, yeah, it could be said—

****************************
Getting support from prior candidates and State Reps:
Jeff Berkowitz: Would he [Michael Bender, who barely lost in the 2002 primary against Pat Hughes] support you?
Judith-Rae Ross: I don’t know, but I think so. Michele Bromberg [who lost in the general election to Beth Coulson in 2004]? The answer is yes.
Berkowitz: Michele is supporting you. [State Rep.] Lou Lang is supporting you?
Judith Ross: Lou Lang? We have to chat, but yes, we’re cordial.
Berkowitz: Is your campaign going to be different. Michele Bromberg got a lot of criticism. Some say that Speaker Mike Madigan ran that campaign. Others say it was a race baiting campaign. Was it a race baiting campaign?
Judith Ross: It was a poorly constructed negative campaign. And, that’s one thing. There is a difference. I’ve been in politics for forty years.
Berkowitz: Was it a race baiting campaign? Was that going on in Bromberg’s campaign? You know, things going out [as mailers]—
Judith Ross: Yeah, Yeah, it could be said—
Berkowitz: You’re not going to do any of that? [show concludes].
*******************************
Iraq, Elections and Dissent:
Berkowitz: There were real elections in Iraq on January 30, 2005. You don’t deny that? We know that.
Judith Ross: I am not denying the elections.
Berkowitz: And those [elections] were a good thing, right?
Judith Ross: It was a good thing to have elections. What I am saying though is that democracy is based on two words: and the two words are--I disagree…
Berkowitz: Dissent.
Judith Ross: Dissent. And, that’s what underlies democracy.
Berkowitz: Yeah, but you can’t have a dissenter if you can’t have an election. There weren’t any elections ever in Iraq under Saddam Hussein, not real ones, right?
Judith Ross: Not real ones, no.
*********************************
Handling unwanted pregnancies:
Judith Ross: …Maybe this is science fiction but what if an unwanted pregnancy could be transplanted. We have transplanted so many other things; maybe something like that would be possible and suitable adoptive parents found. That might be one way of doing it…
