DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE: Few suburban Congressional candidates met financial disclosure deadline. Federal salaries are public record. My critics/opponents have always viciously demonized, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary increased from $117,807/year in 1986 to $153,151/year in 1997. In my defense, I earned a) job-related professional certifications in 1997 (forensic accounting), 1996 (financial services auditing), 1994 (government financial management), 1990 (fraud examination), 1981 (internal auditing), and 1979 (accounting), b) job-related master’s degrees in 1997 (finance), 1980 (accounting), 1976 (business), and 1970 (management), and c) a job-related professional license in 1981 (CPA).

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Only three of the more than two dozen candidates for congressional seats serving the North, West or Northwest suburbs turned in federal financial disclosure reports by a May 15 deadline, a Daily Herald analysis revealed. One, 9th District Democratic hopeful and internet personality Kat Abughazaleh, is a political newcomer whose campaign has received national media attention. The other two — Republicans Niki Conforti of the 6th District and Jim Marter of the 14th — are campaign veterans who lost previous bids for federal office. Designed to reveal potential conflicts of interest, the disclosure reports detail information about the source, type and amount of a candidate’s income, personal investments, spousal income, gifts, contracts and more. They’re published online at disclosures-clerk.house.gov. . .A Glen Ellyn resident, Conforti is making her third run at the 6th District seat held by Democrat Sean Casten of Downers Grove since 2019. Last November, Casten beat Conforti by 8 percentage points; she placed third in the 2022 GOP primary. Conforti spent less than $151,000 on her 2024 campaign, a sum dwarfed by the roughly $2.4 million Casten spent. The Conforti campaign ended the first quarter of this year with less than $9,800 in the bank. Casten ended the quarter with more than $947,000 saved. Conforti reported income this year and last from consulting and from an unidentified employer. She didn’t respond to emails asking for more information about that job. She listed bank, credit union and retirement accounts among her assets, and reported a partnership in a Palos Park limited liability company called Existential Matrix. . .An Oswego resident whose four-year term on his local library board ends this week, Marter will make his sixth bid for federal office in 2026. Democratic incumbent Lauren Underwood of Naperville, who’s represented the 14th District since 2019 and is running again, beat Marter by 10 percentage points in November. Marter spent $322,950 on his 2024 congressional campaign, a fraction of the nearly $3.9 million Team Underwood spent. His campaign ended the first quarter with about $5,500 saved, while Underwood ended the quarter with $1.1 million banked. According to his report, Marter’s primary source of income is a global information technology company called Tenthpin Management Consultants. He previously had been a software consultant. Marter reported bank and retirement accounts, life insurance policies and a coin collection among his assets.)

— US spent over $6 billion on military recruitment in past three years. Did you try to enlist.? I did not. If I had, would I have been accepted? I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green colorblindness. Nevertheless, I was 1-A for the draft. What if I had appealed?. My critics/opponents have always used against me my being 1-A and my avoiding the draft with student draft deferments and a financial hardship draft deferment.

BIZ PAC REVIEW
— While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, to keep their jobs and to get promoted, my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who shared my demographics, that is, were White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time said there was no political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, veterans preference, religious discrimination, or national origin discrimination. I should write about the aforesaid who helped my Democrat superiors waste my career and get rid of me the most.

TOWNHALL
— This Is Why the Southern Poverty Law Center Claims Turning Point USA Is an ‘Extremist’ Group. My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) and TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois were extremist groups. I was an ICRC Steering Committee member 2003-2007 and I was the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take the biggest adverse actions against me lately.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The SPLC put out an article on Thursday, labeling TPUSA as an “anti-government extremist group” for its supposed promotion of white nationalist conspiracy theories, hawkish immigration stance, and Christian nationalism — which has become one of the left’s favorite buzzwords over recent years. Of course, when the organization uses the term “extremist,” they really mean, “anyone who isn’t a progressive.”)

— Pope Leo XIV declares ‘I am Roman!’ as he completes formalities to become bishop of Rome. What if you had never left your hometown? I left my hometown of Crete for University Park when I was 24 years old in 1972. I left University Park for Chicago in 1976. I left Chicago for Wheaton when I got married in 1978. The Democrats and RINO who run Wheaton have never accepted me. They continue to treat me as my being a newcomer. They stress that I never attended any schools or churches in Wheaton, that I never sent any children to Wheaton schools, etc. I am too conservative for them, that is, I am too Republican for them. I should write about the biggest adverse actions that they have taken against me. I would focus on those who despise/hate my demographics the most.

— Trump wants a ‘baby boom,’ but an ultra-conservative agenda may hurt IVF access. I should write what my Democrat GAO superiors did to punish me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF. According to them, if my wife and I had children, a) I would not have been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, become a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. and b) my wife would not have been able to keep her good job and earn a bachelor’s degree in finance in 1986. All my GAO superiors had children and spouses who had little or no income. They always decried the time and money needed to raise children.

— We look at “triple-trending counties,” where either the Republicans or the Democrats gained vote share in all of the last three presidential elections. I should write about why Democrat candidates are getting more votes in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, and my precinct. I should write about past and present DuPage County Republican Central Committee and Milton Township Republican Organization leaders who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for that. Previously, they blamed what I did as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007 and as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012.

— What have you done that has put you in crosshairs? While I was young, I avoided the draft. While I was a federal employee, I refused to become a Democrat, I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Since I became Wheaton resident in 1978, I successfully fought the installation of a traffic signal at Harrison and President, I filled lawsuits against Wheaton, its powerful developer, Milton Township, and DuPage County, and I successfully led efforts to stop video gambling and the sale of pot. Since I have been a Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999, I have sent out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters since 2000, I led Pat O’Malley’s 2002 Republican gubernatorial campaign in Milton Township, I served as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, I served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, and I served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2020.
