From the Dold for Congress campaign (10th District)…
Virginia Congressman and House Minority Whip, Eric Cantor, came to Chicago on Sunday 4/18 to meet with friends of the Pro-Israel Community. Congressman Cantor is the highest-ranking Jewish member of Congress. Bob first had a chance to talk with Congressman Cantor on Sunday night, at a Republican Jewish Coalition program in Skokie. Prior to the event, Bob, Congressman Cantor, and two of the area’s other Republican congressional candidates met privately to discuss the various issues impacting Israel’s security. The program that followed included remarks from Congressman Cantor, to an audience of 250 people. During his speech, the Congressman spoke glowingly about Bob and his campaign, and urged those in attendance to work hard to get Bob elected.
Bob met with Congressman Cantor again, on Monday, for a reception downtown. The two sat next to each other during lunch, continuing their dialogue on the importance of an unwavering U.S.-Israeli relationship. In a room filled with pro-Israel activists, Congressman Cantor spoke about the significance of this specific congressional seat to the pro-Israel community. With the 10th District’s large and vocal Jewish community, the Congressman noted that the representatives from here have a unique opportunity to lead on issues impacting the U.S.-Israeli relationship. Congressman Cantor then went on to tell how important it is that Bob win in November. We want to thank Congressman Cantor for his gracious comments, and look forward to seeing him back in Chicago.
