TO JOIN DURBIN AT IL STATE FAIR ON DEMOCRAT DAY U.S. Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) has accepted an invitation from U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin to be the keynote speaker Democrat Day at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield on Thursday August 15, 2002. Durbin will introduce Edwards to the Democratic statewide ticket as well as Illinois Democrats throughout the state as one of the rising stars in the party. Edwards, who is traveling around the country during the Senate's August recess, will join Durbin for the Democratic Convention at the Crown Plaza Hotel and the Democratic Rally on the State Fair grounds. "John Edwards has proved a tireless advocate for working families in the U.S. Senate," Durbin said. "His energy and ideas are strong assets to our party as we fight corporate irresponsibility and work toward passing quality, affordable healthcare for all Americans." "Democrats are energized for 2002 with a strong ticket that will bring us our first Democratic governor in more than 25 years. I know my colleague John Edwards will be as impressed with our commitment to victory in November as I am," Durbin said. Edwards was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1998,
when he defeated Republican incumbent Sen. Lauch Faircloth. He and
Durbin serve together on the Senate Intelligence Committee. |
