From the Ives Campaign -
Over the past two days, the Ives campaign has received reports of vandalized yard signs in Wheaton, Naperville and Glen Ellyn. Each sign is painted with the word C***. In each case, a police report was filed. The Ives campaign reported each case on social media.
We are not going to hide the hate that Sean Casten stokes anymore. We issued a soft statement on the vandalism and theft we were dealing with in an August 26 post. Now we are just going to show you.
We want civility in politics. But returning civility to politics means losing Sean Casten.
And in her latest post of a second sign in Wheaton being vandalized with the word “C***,” Ives said:
This report and photo was sent to our office today and was reported to Wheaton PD.
I have lived in Wheaton for 28 years. I have raised a family here and my daughter is still in high school here. I have served this community as a volunteer from coaching cross country to working with the St. Vincent DePaul Society.
And I stood up for your families and to protect the lives you were trying to build in the state legislature against politicians who view you as an ATM for all of their waste, fraud, corruption and abuse of public systems.
The hate Sean Casten has stoked is out of control. And it is not representative of this community.
