I’ve been sent this information by a LOT of people, so it’s time to share it. Yes, McLean County is being community organized using Chicago style campaigning with Chicago residents being bused here. I wonder if they will be bused here to vote too?
Since Chicago is the poster city for high taxes, high corruption, and no fiscal responsibility, does this bother you?

100 South Shore High School alumni will show up and out to support one of their own, Nikita Richards a candidate for McLean County Clerk, in an effort to reach undecided voters before Early Voting begins & to encourage early voting. With our help our fellow Tar will make history as the first African American person to serve in this countywide seat in the history of Illinois and the first Democrat in more than 40 years. She has been featured in the Huffington Post, Business Insider & MSN.
Nikita is best remembered in high school for her academic achievements, leadership as Drum Major in JROTC (when Sgt. Cohen & Rowan weren’t yelling “RICHARDS!”), dance moves on the cheerleading team, alto section humor in the choir led by Ms. LuSonya Goodson and who could forget that one time when her name and statewide writing accomplishments were displayed on the marquee. Let’s represent South Shore!

Nikita is also recruiting at ISU
Unpaid of course.
Wonderful… We don’t want them in “our town”.
Community organization or rabble-rousing are the same term, different eras. If we don’t vote its the beginning of BOHICA time.
South Shore HS has a long history. Currently, it is a magnet school with less than 600 students. Historically, it was one of the low performing high schools in the Chicago Public School District. I don’t know the dates of Ms Richard’s attendance but it was probably during the transition prior to becoming a magnet school.
The recruitment flyer is difficult to read due to the grammatical errors. I would think the candidate, someone with education in communication, would take care to ensure campaign related material represented her qualifications.
I wish them the best at their alumni gathering.
She has a master’s degree in communication. Which says what about a master’s degree in communication from ISU? Her website is a mess too…. I am supposed to take this woman seriously? And then there is the made up issues and the lies? It’s time to reclaim “our town” from the liberal elites and the social justice warriors who would foist unqualified candidates like Nikita Richards on us in the name of their imaginary goals for racial/ethnic/gender inclusiveness and diversity.
Hope you volunteer to campaign!
All those who grumble need to help with the “get out the vote” process in October. Then, make sure you and all of your friends vote.
I plan on voting early and often… opps… I am not a Democrat anymore… so I’ll just voting early….. LOL I will be voting for sanity, integrity and competence (Kathy Michael).
Nikita probably has some plebes working on her website. She should be overseeing the content though.
“I then spent over a decade in Chicago as a commodity broker and trader at both the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade.”

Damn those Chicago-style politics, eh?
commodity trader is being in politics?
Just trying to understand why Nikita embodies Chicago politics and Kathy doesn’t. Both women lived almost an equal amount of time in Chicago.
Guess you missed her partying with Precwinkle, Durbin, etc
OK Krazy… here is the scoop… as documented on this site from Diane… Nikita is funded by Chicago trade unions…. Her twitter page is dominated completely by Chicago issues and tweets… Now we have her high school busing people from Chicago to a rally here for her… Yes this is the long arm of the Chicago political machine reaching into our area. I will even link a book that you obviously need to read about the Chicago Political Machine that still exists to this day. It’s called Boss https://www.amazon.com/Boss-Richard-J-Daley-Chicago/dp/0452261678
Patriots for Pence is an interesting moniker? Are you sure it is not “Leftists for Nikita”? Being a commodity trader is what is called a “qualification”. And considering the job this is a very good qualification. Now what this has to do with the politics of Chicago is something that I think you need to explain? Please… explain what being a commodity broker has anything to do with Chicago politics? We are waiting… Please no gaslighting… it will not be received well…
Just pointing out that Kathy Michael, who I am voting for, has already brought Chicago here.
She’s busing in people to go door to door? She’s meeting with Chicago politicians?
Really? Please tell us all how she has brought Chicago here? I am very interested in how she brought Chicago here……?????
Patriots for Pence where are you? You have yet to respond to my questions? I will copy and paste it for you: “Being a commodity trader is what is called a “qualification”.
