Campaign Trail: Monday Night Football

While the Bears were busy pulling off an unbelievable victory Monday night against the Packers inside Soldier Field, there was a team of Ditka for Governor supporters who were busy winning the hearts of Bears fans outside of it as well.

George Sisson, a medical student at Northwestern University, was one of the dedicated souls who braved the sub-zero temperatures to help hand out 1,000 Ditka for Governor flyers.

At the end of the evening, George described the experience as "Life changing. This was the first time I really ever got involved in anything that was grassroots and I couldn't believe how enthusiastic so many people were when I approached them to talk about Ditka for Governor."
