@Mastodon [email protected] Evanston Mayor #DanielBiss similarly prevailed yesterday in #Illinois. I'm glad his race was not a repeat of Tom #Malinowski's loss in #NewJersey last month.

There are a lot of reasons to be optimistic for Kat, but it will be close. If you're in IL09, vote or same day register and vote. Your vote is NEEDED. Seriously Kat could lose by one vote, don't let it be yours.

New IL09 poll from M3 Strategies, among voters who already cast ballots by mail or early in person:

Kat Abughazaleh 29.5%
Daniel Biss 26.2%
Laura Fine 19.7%
Phil Andrew 7.9%
Mike Simmons 6.6%
Bushra Amiwala 5.1%

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

A Fuller Statement About My Bluesky Posts
Megan Wachspress

My professor’s responses to my emails got longer and longer, topics extending well beyond mathematics; office hours lasted later and later. Flattered and insecure, I convinced myself it didn’t mean anything - I was a student, after all! - until the quarter ended, and he emailed to ask if I wanted to meet up, socially.
