Our election-themed podcasts continue with Tom McCullagh, GOP candidate for the Illinois Senate seat in the 49th district. With his commitment to lower taxes, job growth, common sense values, pro-life and pro-family protections, it’s no surprise that McCullagh is strongly endorsed by Illinois Family Action.

When I was invited to meet my local state legislator, State Representative Mary Edly-Allen (D-Libertyville), I never imagined that a woman, a former teacher, and a mother of four could hold such callous views of precious babies almost born.

She stated it “wasn’t her job” as an elected leader to protect babies.… Continue Reading
