— FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans line up behind Ives as she looks to unseat
Democratic U.S. Rep. Sean Casten: Former U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, who lost his
west suburban 6th District seat to Democrat Sean Casten in the 2018 midterms,
already has endorsed Republican challenger Jeanne Ives, a former state
representative, in this year’s election. But Ives says she’s racking up more
high-profile GOP endorsements including: Republican National Committeewoman
Demetra Demonte; the Lake County Republican Party; Cook County Commissioner
Sean Morrison; the conservative Club for Growth PAC; FreedomWorks, a group
closely tied to the tea party movement; the House Freedom Caucus, a GOP caucus
in the U.S. House; and the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List. Rich Porter,
Illinois Republican National committeeman, also is backing Ives, according to
her campaign. And Republicans in Illinois’ congressional delegation along with
U.S. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy hosted a fundraiser for Ives in
Washington, according to Ives’ political team. Ives, of Wheaton, is facing Jay
Kinzler, of Glen Ellyn, in the Republican primary while incumbent Casten, of
Downers Grove, is unopposed in the primary. – LISA DONOVAN

— DuPage referendum questions: From pot to schools – Robert Sanchez
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20200110/dupage-referendum-questions-from-pot-to-schools
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Naperville The debate on whether Naperville should allow recreational marijuana
sales could be settled by voters. City council members put an advisory question
on the ballot even though they moved to prohibit recreational pot stores in town.
While the referendum is nonbinding, several council members have said they will
trust the will of the voters. If voters don’t want recreational cannabis sales,
no action will be needed. But if voters say they want such stores, the council
would need to reverse its ban and set zoning regulations.)

job-related master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance when I was
