Rep. Jan Schakowsky will run for the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama should that seat ultimately come to a special election, her office confirmed to the Huffington Post.
Schakowsky is widely considered one of the most liberal members of the House of Representatives. She was a cosponsor of a resolution seeking articles of impeachment against vice president Dick Cheney and was one of the most outspoken critics of the Iraq War. She was also an enthusiastic supporter of Barack Obama's candidacy, both for Senate in 2004 and president in 2008.
Rep. Schakowsky is absolutely my choice for President Obama's Senate replacement.
My Mother was also a Polish lady from Chicago. I think under Chicago rules that makes both me 'n Mom, who passed away in 1948, eligible to cast absentee ballots...
