National Democrats give local candidates some campaign tips.
Before Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) was sworn into office in January, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) decided his 10th Congressional District seat was one it could win in 2012. Nearly five months later, Ilya Sheyman, a community organizer from Waukegan, has formally announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination to oppose Dold. Bradley S. Schneider, a business consultant from Deerfield, has also expressed interest. Last week they both went on an educational field trip with the DCCC. Special schooling from Plouffe, Pelosi Sheyman and Schneider were two of 34 congressional candidates to receive special schooling at a training session conducted by the DCCC in Washington.

Local congressman becomes first member of House’s freshman class to get legislation approved.
Rep. Robert Dold’s (R-Kenilworth) small business approach to legislation helped make him the first freshman member of Congress this session to pass a bill under his authorship. Anchored by his small business roots, Dold saw a problem in a law he believed created government waste and went about finding a solution. “It's not quite that simple in Congress, but I'm trying to take that approach,” Dold said in an interview with Patch. “I tried to bring those on the other side of the aisle on board by reaching out and making the case that this was the right thing to do.” Sponsored by Dold, the FHA Refinance Program Termination Act passed the House of Representatives March 10 with some bipartisan support (17 Democrats), 256-171. It now goes to …

Freshman North Shore congressman joins 249 other representatives in voting to reverse last year’s Health Care Reform Act.
Before Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) fulfilled a campaign pledge Wednesday by voting to repeal the Health Care Reform Act passed last year, he had already started an effort to reduce the law’s effects on small business. While the legislation is expected to be defeated in the Democrat-controlled Senate, the House of Representatives voted 245-189 Jan. 19 to repeal the entire bill. This touched off criticism from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the arm of the Democratic Party responsible for recruiting Congressional candidates. Knowing Wednesday’s vote is unlikely to be enacted, the Republican House majority plans to propose a number of pieces of legislation that will ultimately modify provisions of the new law. …

Before being sworn in, the North Suburban Republican already faces partisan criticism.
Two days away from joining the 112th U. S. Congress, Representative-elect Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) has already been pegged one of the top Republicans to defeat in 2012. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) met last month to strategize about regaining the Democratic majority the party lost in November. Dold, whose 1oth Congressional District runs from Wilmette north to Waukegan, and from Arlington Heights west to Libertyville, was one of five targets named. "This is a competitive district we feel can be won, and Dold is a representative whose values and record are not in tune with the area," said DCCC regional press secretary Jesse Ferguson. Dold's victory: Rule or exception? Dold, who defeated Democrat Dan Seals by …
