Thanks for the congratulations @sierraclubchicago.bsky.social #40thWardDems @indivisiblels.bsky.social #47thWardDems! This video made my day. Although I do have to correct an error in your video…. the total jumped to $189k in negative DraftKings ads! #IllinoisPolitics #VoteJamesOBrien

Another day, another $50,609.66 in negative DraftKings attacks against me. Total now at $189k. And you know what? I don’t care because you can’t buy character and we’re still going to beat their former lobbyist Adam Braun. The 13th District isn’t for sale. #VoteJamesOBrien #IllinoisPolitics

$138,640.14 That’s the amount DraftKings reported spending on negative attack ads against me in the last week because they’re worried I’m going to beat their former lobbyist, Adam Braun. #VoteJamesOBrien #IllinoisPolitics
