ISRA Political Victory Fund Announces Endorsements for Illinois Governor and Other Key Races
CHICAGO, Jan. 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The following was released today by the ISRA Political Victory Fund (ISRA-PVF):
The ISRA-PVF board of directors is pleased to announce the organization’s candidate endorsements and preferences for the 2010 Illinois Primary Election. Endorsement and preference decisions were made by the board of directors after a careful review of candidate qualifications, voting records, candidate survey responses, and other pertinent factors that gauge the candidates’ suitability.
