another Lipinski challenger

At the Rep. Dan Lipinski forum at the Argo-Summit American Legion Post I met Jim Capperelli, a Democrat challenging Lipinski in the February 5, 2008 primary.

Reading on Walden Blog quotes a Southwest New-Herald article by Dermot Connolly.

About 250 people turned out to hear Capparelli make his official declaration of candidacy at a party held last Thursday evening at the Argo-Summit American Legion Post, 6050 S. Harlem Ave.

Capperelli is an attorney and Army veteran of the Panama invasion.

[UPDATE: Looks like Palos Hills Mayor Jerry Bennett is running too.]
