Bottino Gains Steam in 15th District Congressional Bid
Mounting backing from business, farm and labor groups boosts State Rep. Louis Bottino in the 15th district primary to unseat 78 year old Cong Noah Mason. Support stems from Will Grundy counties and groups praising Bottino’s state legislative voting record and tax economy. Mason, in office since 1936, faces shifting county backing but remains hopeful for a Democratic nomination for Dorothy OBrien vs Stanley Hubbs in Will County.
