Last Monday was filing day in Illinois. Every candidate for any office needed to file on this day(October 26) in Springfield IL. Luckily Kathleen Thomas and her campaign are based in Springfield, so there was no long drive to get there. It feels good for all the Chicago politicians to have to come down state for a change.
The line to file was fairly long (out the door and down a few blocks), so the goal here was to get a good spot in line. Some people slept in line over night and that is what a volunteer from the campaign did. He slept all night third in line (what a sport!). We were surprised to find out later though that the person number two in line was saving a spot for 30 or so house democrats. This didn't seem fair to us, but Kathleen Thomas ended up being 33rd in line anyway.
The filing process was fairly simple and it ran smoothly. Dr. Thomas simply filled out paper in a few different rooms, and as it turns out the waiting in line is the most tedious part of the process.
Kathleen Thomas is now filed and will be on the February primary ballot!
