I just got another mailer yesterday propagating lies from the @votejandrade.bsky.social and @repandrade40.bsky.social campaign.

Illinois Democrats are trying desperately to tie their opponents to ICE, including in one key state House race Illinois Democrats had been largely unified against President Donald Trump’s Chicago-area immigration enforcement crackdown. Now, the issue is being used as a political wedge in this spring’s Democ…

This is basically straight up lying to the voters by Jaime Andrade’s campaign, which is smearing his opponent by false accusing them of supporting ICE. Good campaign truth squadding by @olivia0.bsky.social

A mailer sent by incumbent Illinois 40th District State Representative Jaime Andrade spreads misinformation about challenger Miguel Alvelo-Rivera.

Jaime Andrade is now running what is almost certainly the most despicable campaign I've seen in Chicago, sending mailers that smear both Miguel and Congresswoman Delia Ramirez, who has endorsed Miguel.

Delia regularly calls for not just ICE but DHS to be abolished: inthesetimes.com/article/deli...

Goes without saying that this is disgraceful, and it reflects very poorly on the orgs supporting Andrade that have failed to denounce this.

Get! His! Ass! Delia!

Story about State Rep Andrade’s desperate and completely dishonest attacks on his primary opponent

andrade resting his entire campaign on playing six degrees of kevin bacon

I really had no opinion on Jaime Andrade before this election, but the daily glossy mailers filled with bald-faced lies and out and out slander have driven me to loathe him

Well done, Andrade campaign!

so much for being a longevity researcher

The photo shows Miguel Alvelo-Rivera standing in front of a sign that says ICE OUT OF HOME DEPOT with other people also holding signs.

Hi there! We’re just starting out with Bluesky. My name is Miguel Alvelo-Rivera. I’ve been an organizer since I was 13, and have been leading a union that organizes with domestic workers and day laborers for the last five years.

I'm running for state rep in Illinois' 40th District!

Shame on you for flooding our mailboxes with vile lies. Absolutely pathetic and disgusting behavior, and completely beneath the office you hold.

Really telling that Rep. Jaime Andrade has turned off comments on his social media after circulating vile defamatory mailers, lying and claiming that Miguel Alvelo-Rivera is an ICE supporter.

I used to think he was just milquetoast, now I know he’s a crook who will say and do anything for power.

I had the opportunity to ask Jaime Andrade today about why he is sending out mailers with lies on them. He said "you guys do the same thing". So it sounds like we all agree he is sending out mailers with lies on them

you are right, i'll just vote for him directly. thanks for clarifying

like i'm sorry i am massive raja hater, but if you dodge a direct yes/no three times like that on something like genocide, it's a wrap. maybe i'll flip again before i vote, but god damn

her answer was so ass on a simple yes/no question last night, it likely flipped me to Kelly. genuinely embarrassing

ENDORSEMENT ALERT: We're excited to endorse Miguel Alvelo Rivera for State Rep. in the 40th District!

For the last five years, he has served as Executive Director of the Latino Union of Chicago, building worker power and fighting back for our communities.

Jaime Andrade's campaign just push-polled me by phone with this outright lie and nothing else.

When confronted, the caller admitted she was with "Friends of Jaime Andrade" and hopes he can earn my vote.

So... that's how desperate the IL-HD40 incumbent is with only 26 days remaining on the clock

hm I wonder why that might be

Seems like pretty good odds that if they left, we'd have a better ownership group come in to Chicago

This mailer sent out by Friends of Jaime Andrade accusing Miguel Alvelo-Rivera and his allies of being ICE supporters is not only a lie but also dangerous. The People's 32nd condemns this dirty tactic fully.

the last thing you see before getting shamelessly defamed by the chicago machine

So you can keep the Super PACs straight:
IL-02: AIPAC (pro-Donna Miller), AI (pro-Jesse Jackson Jr.), crypto (anti-Robert Peters)
IL-07: AIPAC (pro-Melissa Conyears-Ervin), crypto (anti-LaShawn Ford)
IL-08: AIPAC (pro-Melissa Bean), AI (pro-Bean)
IL-09: AIPAC (pro-Laura Fine)

Not mentioned, Andrade takes money from billionaires

"chicago needs new blood for cook county board president"

the new blood for cook county board president:

Also the most "successful" racist framing from the trump campaign was on immigration because the democrats did not make a positive case and ceded all ground

I've never seen a single person ever say this
