Adam Kinzinger

gives the chief of staff a heads up that he's going to retire so that the chief of staff can go out and get the, I think it's 2,500 signatures necessary to get on the ballot.

They do that under the radar.

The chief of staff files right before the deadline to file for Congress, right?

So it's like nobody else can get in the race after a certain point, which is just as a quick aside, it's insane that it's this early in Illinois.

You should be able to file for Congress early.

Like up to four months before the election or something.

You know, whatever you need to just get the ballots done.

But anyway, so in Illinois, you have to file by a year out.

And the chief of staff gets in, doesn't tell anybody.

The deadline passes.

Chuy Garcia says he's retiring.

So now the chief of staff is the only person in the race.

There's no primary.

This is an outrage.

And there's an example of this in a Florida district too of a Republican doing this recently.

So it has happened.

Yeah.

You know, especially as in the context of what we're doing now, like Democrats trying to take the mantle of democracy, being like we're fighting for democracy.

And it's just like not to get on a high horse too much or anything, but like this is just this isn't democracy.

This is you're not this is not an English lordship.
