Khalil urged voters to vote Yes on all Retention Judges in Cook County.

AADC Media consultant Ray Hanania said that in addition to Abdelnasser Rashid, voters should pay particular attention to several other candidates including State Senator Michael Hastings, Daniel Calandriello who is seeking to unseat extremist and beleaguered Republican Cook County Commissioner Sean Morrison, and State representative Cyril Nichols.

“There are so many good candidates and every one of them deserves our support,” Hanania said. “But Hastings, Calandriello and Nichols deserve special attention to rebuff extremist challengers and strengthen the voice of moderate Democrats who not only support the Arab American community but who also advocate agendas that serve the needs of all constituents in their respective districts.”
