from the Arrington for U.S. Senate campaign
The Chicago Gazette endorsed John Arrington for US Senate saying the following:
This time, we feel the best choice is Arrington. He, like Barack Obama, is a former grassroots community organizer—a rarity among Republicans. He served as a Harvey City Council alderman for eight years and was chairman of the council’s Economic Development Committee and its Finance Committee. As alderman, he organized job fairs and opened a community resource center that hosted personal development training and business and entrepreneurial development programs.
