How do we know? He told us so. Evidently the Obama people have loaned their Chicago email list to Rahm Emanuel for his Chicago mayoral bid because all of a sudden, we're getting updates from good 'ol Rahm. Maybe that valuable email list was his parting gift from the White House? Here's what the Rahmster said:
Dear Friend,
Election Day is nearly here, and you don't need me to tell you the stakes are high.
For months the Republicans have been licking their chops over the prospect of expanding their power in Congress and attempting to derail the President and his agenda.
Chicagoans have a particularly important stake in this election. And I wanted to take just a moment to share my thoughts on an important race.
I voted for Alexi.
As State Treasurer, he has been a strong voice for working families. He saved 600 Illinois jobs by threatening to cut the taxpayer funds Wells Fargo managed if they cut positions at HartMarx.
As Senator he will be a strong voice for Chicago, and an ally of the President.
If you'd like to learn more about Alexi, check out his website here, or read his detailed economic plan, Futureworks, here. If you'd like to help Alexi get out the vote in the next few days, you can sign up to volunteer for his campaign here.
Chicagoans have a unique opportunity on Tuesday to stand up for the progress we have made -- progress we need to build upon to ensure that our economic gains benefit all Americans.
Thanks, and please remember to vote Tuesday.
Thanks for all you do,
Rahm
