Pekau for Congress has issued the following press release:
September 26, 2022- Last week, Desperate Sean Casten released a digital ad in his bid for re-election in the new sixth congressional district. The ad features a woman misrepresenting Casten’s Republican opponent Keith Pekau’s views. A few days later, mailers were sent with the same false claims in an attempt to scare voters into re-electing Casten.
Where are the fact-checkers when you need them?
Pekau issued the following statement to clear up the misinformation from the Casten campaign:
“Sean Casten can’t run on his own record. He has used his seat in Congress to push for massive energy subsidies that benefit him and his family, and has done little to help the people of IL-06. In the past 3 years, Congressional Democrats and President Biden have walked the country into one unmitigated disaster after another - from Afghanistan, to the Southern Border, to our Supply Chain, to Energy. The economy is collapsing and crime is on the rise. He advocated and voted for the policies that have led us to this precarious point in our history. Moreover, Illinois Democrats - his own party - quietly put in place an anti-police, pro-criminal bill that is so dangerous it shocked the entire nation.
“Sean Casten also doesn’t want to talk about my record. As Mayor of Orland Park, we took a different path than the rest of the state and our economy has grown. Over 600 businesses have opened in Orland Park in the past 5 years. That means jobs for people in Orland Park. Crime has dropped to its lowest level in 27 years, because I prioritized working with law enforcement and keeping our citizens safe.”
“So Casten has resorted to lying about my position. It’s the Democrats playbook. They have governed so abysmally that their only hope is that they can scare enough people into believing their lies. It’s pathetic.
“I don’t imagine Casten will quit this dishonest line of attack. He’s going to keep lying about me, and I am going to continue to tell the truth about him.”
