*indicates incumbent WOMEN'S VOICES - WOMEN'S VOTES . . • ... first organized in 1994, is a coalition of activist Illinois women whose primary function is to raise money to help electable, progressive Democratic women win in Illinois - both in the State Senate and the State House. Even with the overwhelming 1994 Republican takeover, two of the seve n candidates supported by WVVvV won election to the Illinois House. In 1996, the chances are excel len t of electing even more progressive women and of re-taking leadership of the Illinois Leg is ­ lature. The quality and experience of the women who are Democratic candidates t his year is awesome. At last count, 41 wome n from across Illinois are running for seats in the House and Senate. Some are sure bets, others may have little rea listic chance t o win. The WVVvV focus is on those wome n in tight races with a rea l chance to beat their conservative Republican op ponents. With such an impressive group of candidates, working smart and worki ng together, the wo men of Illinois can make the difference. WVWV is the engi ne driving t he empowerment machine. $100,000 is the fu nd-raising goa l - with your help we ca n meet it. The WVVvV message is sim ple and basic: Republican r ul e in Springfield has ign ored the progressive agenda. Mea n-spirited measures attacking women, the poor, school children and worki ng families have become the order of t he day. We in vite women in Ill inois who care a bout personal freedoms and res ponsive government to become part of the 1996 WVWV ca mpaign. Th e potential for mea n­ ingful change to Il linois lawmaking is in our hands. Join WOMEN'S VOICES - WOMEN'S VOTES It's your choice!
