  Comm. Richard Boykin (D-1) continued his Black History Month series on his Facebook. Yesterday's entry: James Armistead Lafayette. 


• Comm. John Fritchey (D-12) issued a strong endorsement for Ald. Ameya Pawar (47) for governor. "I know that there are naysayers who say that this is a fight that can’t be won. But it is often the hardest battles that most need to be fought and there are messages that the public deserves and needs to hear. Ameya will bring fresh ideas and a fresh face to a public who is yearning for just those things. He has the desire, talent, vision and drive to work to put our state back on the right path by being a Governor for all of Illinois not just a chosen few. I hope that you will join me in supporting Ameya Pawar for Governor."
