Rep. Cheri Bustos Endorses Nancy Rotering For Attorney General

The mayor said she's "humbled" to receive the support of a "role model and proven champion."

From Friends Of Nancy: Mayor Nancy Rotering announced today that she earned the endorsement of Congresswoman Cheri Bustos (Rock Island - 17th District) in the race.

"Illinois needs a fighter like Nancy Rotering for our next Attorney General. Nancy is a working mom and skilled attorney who has the courage, principled leadership, and drive to make a difference for all of us in Illinois," said Congresswoman Cheri Bustos. "Hardworking families are under attack from Washington Republicans and Bruce Rauner, and I trust Nancy to stand up to them and protect our rights. Nancy has a proven track record of fighting hard and getting real results which is why I'm going to work to help her win this race."

"I am humbled by Congresswoman Cheri Bustos' support. She is a role model and proven champion for the the middle-class. We share the belief that protecting working families from the radical right's anti-union agenda is a priority. Whether it's fighting against Rauner in Illinois, or Trump in DC, we share the same values and will always stand up for what is right and fight back against special interests," stated Mayor Nancy Rotering.
