| GREATER CHICAGO CAUCUS PAC ENDORSES TOM GOEGHEGAN |
The Greater Chicago Caucus (GCC) voted unanimously to endorse Tom Geoghegan for United States Congress in the Special Election for Illinois’ 5th District.
GCC Leaders cited Geoghegan’s leadership on economic and social justice issues as the primary reason behind the endorsement.
“During these tough economic times, we need someone with Geoghegan’s proven track record of fighting for working people,” said Connie Baker, Executive Director. “We are proud to endorse the other skinny, Harvard graduate who has dedicated the past 30 years of his life to fighting for justice, pensions, healthcare and better wages.” The GCC has hundreds of volunteers including two campaign staffers ready to actively engage on the Geoghegan campaign.
The Greater Chicago Caucus is a membership organization consisting of diverse communities with a shared commitment to peace and social justice. Our political alliance has energized constituents throughout the Chicago area to work for candidates who share our commitment to a foreign policy rooted in constructive engagement and a domestic policy promoting the welfare of working American families.

| 5th Congressional District - Special Primary |
The Greater Chicago Caucus is going to participate in the 5th Congressional District - Special Primary. We have a huge constituency and many members there who are very concerned about the election.
With the new ethics laws going into effect as of Jan. 1st and all of the scrutiny because of the Blogo situation with the U.S. Senate seat, we suspect this will be the cleanest election in many years.
Here are some resource information about the district:
