Morrison, Sumption and Morrison spend time in Highland Park.
Highland Park polling places were a popular spot this morning for all three candidates hoping to replace retiring state Sen. Susan Garrett (D-Lake Forest) in the 29th State Senate District.

Sumption makes automated phone call attacking Morrison.
The campaign for the Democratic nomination to succeed retiring state Sen. Susan Garrett (D-Lake Forest) became a little more heated ahead of Tuesday’s primary as one of the candidates questioned the Democratic credentials of the other. Lake Bluff business consultant Milton Sumption sent an automated telephone call into the 29th State Senate District Saturday claiming his opponent, West Deerfield Township Supervisor Julie Morrison, was a Republican until recently. “I was told by voters when I met them this was important,” Sumption said. “Many Democratic voters care about a life-long commitment to Democratic principles. They have concerns about the fact that my opponent was a Republican who switched parties.” Morrison, who is backed by …

Democratic State Senate candidates agree on many issues but have different ideas on implementation.
Approach rather than policy differences is what distinguished Democratic Illinois State Senate candidates Julie Morrison and Milton Sumption Sunday at a League of Women Voters sponsored debate at the Highland Park Country Club. The two candidates seeking the Democratic nomination in the March 20 primary to replace retiring state Sen. Susan Garrett (D-Lake Forest) agree on a number of issues but would differ on ways to implement those ideas. Sumption, a business consultant from Lake Bluff with a background in the financial industry, brings that expertise to bear when approaching issues like pension reform, job creation, services for homeless veterans and dealing with the state’s growing Medicaid costs. For the last 14 years, Morrison, from …

The 29th Senate District, which encompasses Deerfield, Highland Park, Glencoe, Glenview, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Niles and Northbrook, has a choice in the March 20 primary between two Democratic candidates: the current Deerfield Township supervisor and a Lake Bluff business consultant with a business, finance and governmental background.

People from all walks of political life join forces to support West Deerfield Township supervisor.
West Deerfield Supervisor Julie Morrison is finding help for her campaign to replace retiring state Sen. Susan Garrett (D-Lake Forest) from a variety of places.

Friedman, Morrison go door to door to hear voters’ concerns.
If retail politics is the key to winning the Illinois State Senate seat being vacated by retiring state Sen. Susan Garrett (D-Lake Forest), the three candidates for the position were doing exactly that by meeting voters Saturday and Sunday.

The other Democrat, Lake Bluff business consultant Milton Sumption, was in Northbrook as well attending a commemoration of the shooting of 19 people in Tucson a year ago that wounded Rep.
