State Rep. John Fritchey (D-Chicago), a 5th Cong Dist. Democratic Primary candidate running in the March 3, 2009 special election to replace Cong.Rahm Emanuel, debates and discusses the issues with show host and executive legal recruiter Jeff Berkowitz.
Public Affairs has limited air time and it cannot accommodate each of the more than 20 candidates who filed to run in the three different 5th CD March 3, 2009 primaries. Therefore, it has focused on the five candidates Public Affairs believes have the greatest likelihood of winning the 5th CD race, in an effort to give the Public Affairs viewers the most relevant information to help them make a choice in the election.
Those five candidates are State Rep. Fritchey, Comm. Quigley, Rep. Feigenholtz, Professor Wheelan and labor attorney Geoghegan. As of the time this narrative is being prepared, Professor Wheelan and Rep. Fritchey have taped Public Affairs and labor attorney Geoghegan has committed to do the show. State Rep. Feigenholtz indicated in early January that she did not "have time," to do Public Affairs. Comm. Quigley scheduled two separate tapings with Public Affairs, cancelled both and has not committed, as of the time of this post, to tape the show on another date. However, discussions with Team Quigley on setting a taping date continue.
***************************************************
Rep. Fritchey was born on an Air Force Base in Louisiana but most of his youth was spent growing up in Chicago. He attended both Latin School in Chicago and the University of Michigan (Economics Major) on a scholarship-- and he graduated from Northwestern University Law School.
John Fritchey is in his 13th year in the Illinois State House. Prior to being elected to the State House, Rep. Fritchey was an IL Assistant Attorney General and he has practiced law both with law firms and on his own. During the last eight years, Rep. Fritchey has twice been named by the National Democratic Leadership Council as "One of one hundred rising stars to watch." John Fritchey lives with his wife and daughter in the Depaul area. For more about Rep. Fritchey, please go to http://www.fritcheyforcongress.com/.
Topics discussed on this week's show with State Rep. Fritchey include the bailouts of the financial sector and the stimulus plan that passed the Senate on February 10, 2009; is some of the Stimulus plan spending projected to occur more than several years from now, how do Rep. Fritchey and Rep. Feigenholtz differ in their handling of opportunities to interact with constituents, speak in their own words, answer media questions and play a leadership role in the State House; is Feigenholtz a "Vote," and Fritchey a "Leader,'" on the issues; Does President Obama support moving toward a "Single Payer,' healthcare approach in the U. S.? does Fritchey support that plan? Does Quigley? Does Wheelan? Does Geoghegan? Will anyone ever learn much about Feigenholtz on this issue?
Additional topics discussed include how would Fritchey improve the quality of education? Does he support more Charter Schools? School vouchers? More competition for public schools? What does Feigenholtz support? Quigley? Wheelan? Geoghegan? Do we not know as much about Feigenholtz because they she doesn't go on shows where she is asked tough questions? Do we know more about Fritchey, Wheelan and Geoghegan because they go on shows and do forums where they are asked tough questions? Is Feigenholtz "dissing," the voters?
How would Rep. Fritchey have voted on the Iraq War Powers resolution in the Fall of 2002? If Fritchey had been in Congress last month, what would he have said about the Israel/Hamas conflict? Does Fritchey support same sex marriage or civil unions? Does Rep. Fritchey support a doubling of U. S. troops in Afghanistan? Rep. Feigenholtz? Comm. Quigley? Wheelan? Geoghegan? Will we not learn the views of Feigenholtz before the March 3, 2009 Democratic Primary? Will Quigley decide to appear on Public Affairs? Stay tuned.
