Joe Walsh Bolts For Safer Ground

As you're aware, Tammy has repeatedly blasted Joe Walsh’s brand of extremism since announcing her campaign to unseat him in Congress. Walsh announced today that he will run in the 14th Congressional District, rather than take us on in the 8th. He seems to have gotten the message that voters in Illinois' 8th Congressional District prefer Tammy's level-headed brand of proven service and sacrifice.

Faced with running against Tammy, Joe Walsh cut and ran. There are rumblings that GOP sources polled Walsh against Tammy. While we don't know the results of the poll, his retreat makes it clear what the voters told Joe Walsh -- pack your bags.

This is now an open seat race, and Tammy needs your help to continue her fight for real solutions to the challenges we all face as a nation. Can we count on your support? Tammy's story of service and her commitment to standing up for middle-class families makes her a formidable candidate and we expect a strong campaign against her, even if we do not yet know her opponent.
