Former Congressman plans to run for 10th District seat he lost to Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield) in a November squeaker.
Former Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) wrote in a letter to supporters today he will run for the United States House of Representatives in the 10th Congressional District in 2014, a seat he lost to Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield) in November. “With deep reflection, and strong support from you … I’ve made the decision to step forward and run in 2014 to represent the 10th District of Illinois,” Dold wrote in the letter. Earlier: Is Dold Seeking 2014 Rematch With Schneider Dold was elected to represent the north suburban District in 2010, defeating Dan Seals in a close contest. In his bid for reelection last year, he lost another close race, this time to Schneider in a redrawn district that carved out his Kenilworth home. Dold ran for …

Reports indicate former Congressman is raising money for a 2014 run.
Though former Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) has not indicated he will seek a 2014 rematch against Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield), evidence is mounting he may try to regain his 10th Congressional District seat. Dold, who reported raising no money in the quarter ending March 31, according to the Federal Election Commission, is starting to solicit funds, according to an email from the Schneider campaign and a flyer which Patch recently obtained. Earlier: Dold Resurfaces on Facebook “We just got word that former Republican Congressman Bob Dold has decided to run again,” an email sent today to Schneider supporters soliciting funds for the current Congressman’s campaign, said.

Oh, I see how you guys are setting up this one. If I remember correctly, not one Republican voted for this disaster, not even one Rino. Free market, in your dreams. Imposing mandates, penalties and fees have destroyed any chance of a free market in healthcare years ago, this bill just puts it on steroids.

Washington source says Dold may be looking at rematch.
Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield) will report raising more than $390,000 for a 2014 reelection bid while Washington sources indicate former Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) is considering a rematch. Schneider’s total is more than Dold collected in his first quarter after being elected in 2010, according to a release today from the Schneider campaign. Schneider narrowly defeated Dold in November. While Republicans have been expressing the hope Dold will run in 2014 for some time, a report in The Hill today indicated Dold is considering a rematch. He did not return a call from Patch before this article was published. Schneider believes his first quarter fundraising numbers are a reflection of the desire of people in the 10th Congressional …

Former Congressman restarts Facebook posts more than three months after loss to Brad Schneider.
What has former Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) been doing since the Nov. 6 election? If his Facebook page is any indication, he returned to a public life in a virtual sense March 15 when he updated his profile photo, asked a question about the country’s future, got 35 likes and 55 comments. His previous post was made Nov. 6. Earlier: Schneider Beats Dold in 10th District Race “What should we be doing to leave our children a better and more prosperous America?” Dold asked his social media followers. Two days later Dold was at it again posting a photo from a 2012 St. Patrick’s Day parade he called one of his favorites asking people how they celebrated the day. On March 20, Dold gave a shout out to Wheeling High School Principal Lazaro Lopez…

Highland Park senator comes back to work just under a year after suffering a stroke.
Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Highland Park) returned to work today as he climbed 237 steps to the entrance of the Senate side of the United States Capitol just under a year after suffering a major stroke. Assisted by Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Kirk walked slowly using a cane completing the ascent 10 minutes before the Vice President was scheduled to gavel the Senate into session for the 113th Congress. Biden was not worried about the timing. “You’ve got all day, pal,” the vice president said to Kirk at the bottom of the stairs. Biden was the first person to greet Kirk when he appeared at the bottom of the steps, giving him a hug. Next to hug his returning colleague at the bottom of the stairs was Sen. Richard Durbin (D-…

North Shore Congressman recounts achievement of his term in what may be one of his last floor speeches.
In what may have been one of his final speeches on the floor of the United States House of Representatives, Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) told his colleagues serving in Congress has been one of the proudest achievements of his life. In the weeks remaining in his term, he expressed hope a deal could be structured to keep the country from going over the fiscal cliff of the expiration of the Bush era tax cuts and mandated spending reductions. Earlier: Schneider Beats Dold in 10th District Race “Governing in a democracy is not easy,” Dold said. “It requires compromise. It requires working together. As I’ve often said, putting people before politics and progress before partisanship is the only way we can move this country forward and have a …

All but one respondent to Patch poll want donors to superpacs to fall under the same rules as campaign contributors.
Though the contest for the 10th Congressional District seat between Rep. Elect Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield) and Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) was very close, there was near unanimity about reader dislike for the $13.1 million spent on the campaign. A survey of Patch readers asked whether people who make unlimited donations on independent expenditures should fall under the same disclosure requirements as donors to the Schneider and Dold campaigns as well. Earlier: Poll: Was Too Much Spent on Schneider-Dold Race Of the 20 people who answered the question, 19 believe the requirements should be the same. Only one person would keep the law as defined in the Citizens United Case by the United States Supreme Court in 2010 intact. “Yes, too much…

Between the candidates and outside groups, $13.1 was used to influence voters. Should some of that money been used for another purpose.
What did $13.1 million buy the voters of the 10th Congressional District in the election that will make Rep. Elect Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield) the area’s Congressman in January? Patch will not give its opinion but our latest unscientific poll will give readers an opportunity to weigh in on the subject. Earlier: Schneider Beats Dold in 10th District Race When the Illinois General Assembly redrew the state’s Congressional map 17 months ago after three straight razor thin contests, the new 10th District was considered slightly more Democratic. The seat has been in Republican hands for 32 years under former Rep. John Porter (R-Wilmette), now Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Highland Park) and Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth).
