JIM HICKEY
Candidate for US Congress 11th District (IL)
Statement from Jim Hickey, candidate in
the 11th Congressional District Race:
Thank You To Everyone that helped on the campaign and I want to personally thank the thousands that voted for me. We ended with 16% of the overall vote.
On a positive note I won in each precinct that I walked! Like Abraham Lincoln stated during his numerous political losses, I shall continue to work hard, study and prepare, and perhaps my time will come in the future. I will always continue to work for the underdog, and let us hope and pray that Foster will help the working class.
I congratulate Bill Foster and wish him the best moving forward in the November election
Jim Hickey
