— Someone polling for an Ives challenge against Casten; Will she run? – Lynn

https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/someone-polling-for-an-ives-challenge-against-casten-will-she-run/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Someone is paying for a poll to test how former state Sen. Jeanne Ives,
R-Wheaton, would do against freshman Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill., who represents
the swing suburban sixth congressional district. Ives, a conservative, almost
defeated former Gov. Bruce Rauner and Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti in the March,
2018 GOP primary, with Rauner struggling to attract Republicans while also keeping
a distance from President Donald Trump. In April, Sanguinetti announced a
March, 2020 GOP primary bid in the sixth. If Ives jumped in the contest,
Sanguinetti would have to decide if she will be pulled to the right and if she
would run from, or with, Trump whose name will be at the top of the ballot.
Polls show Trump very unpopular in Illinois. Ives, a West Point graduate, told
the Chicago Sun-Times she is not closing any doors. Ives was asked, “Are you
interested or thinking about running for Congress in the 6th district?” and she
replied, “We’ve you know, this for me it’s always been a team decision. I don’t
do anything without my team supporting it and we’ve not made a decision on any
race at all.” Asked about the origins of the survey, she said, “You know, I
don’t control that,” adding that she was one of the people getting a call from
the polling firm. Casten, allied with House centrist Democrats, pulled an upset
in 2018 when he beat now former Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill. The 6th Congressional
District hugs the Chicago suburbs and includes parts of Cook, DuPage, Kane,
McHenry and Lake counties.)

– How Congress can better protect whistleblowers from retaliation – Jessie Bur
(DIERSEN: While I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, I blew the
whistle on political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age
discrimination, and retaliation. I should write a book about how Civil Service
protections failed to protect me.)
https://www.federaltimes.com/federal-oversight/congress/2019/05/10/how-congress-can-better-protect-whistleblowers-from-retaliation/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Federal whistleblowers often go to members of Congress to report waste, fraud
and abuse at their agencies. But that means congressional staff need to be on
top of their game to make sure that they don’t expose those whistleblowers to
negative repercussions, according to a May 7 Government Accountability Office
report. “Federal whistleblowers — employees who report violations of law,
agency mismanagement or ethical violations — help to safeguard the federal
government against waste, fraud and abuse,” the report said. Whistleblowers can
report to various entities, including the Congress. While these reports are a
key source of information for federal oversight, whistleblowers can risk
reprisal. Therefore, it is important to appropriately handle whistleblowers’
information and identity.”)
