Seals grabs teachers' endorsement

[ccharles000]

Dan Seals has notched a key union endorsement in the Democratic primary for Rep. Mark Kirk's (R-Ill.) seat, with the Illinois Federation of Teachers (IFT) jumping on board.

“The Illinois Federation of Teachers is proud to endorse Dan Seals for the 10th Congressional District,” IFT President Ed Geppert Jr. said. “Dan has a track record of working tirelessly to improve the lives of the people living in his district, and we know he will continue that leadership in Congress. Dan Seals personifies the type of leader we want in Washington fighting for public education."

Seals faces a primary with state Rep. Julie Hamos, who raised nearly $550,000 in the third quarter. But the early nature of the primary -- it is Feb. 2 -- leaves little time for Hamos to build up her name recognition.

Seals was the 2006 and 2008 nominee against Kirk, who is running for Senate.
