Political Silence

There is no truth to the rumor that Tosi Ufodike has a new campaign song:

To-To-Tosi Goodbye

HaHa. As readers of this blog are aware ...

Challenge Accepted

Tosi Ufodike was removed from the 2026 GOP Primary (IL House District 51), because of an incorrectly filed Statement of Economic Interest.

Ufodike nominating petitions were filed on Oct 27, the first day. Afterwards copies of the petition were requested by 13 individuals. Lori Smith filed nominating petitions for the same office on Nov 3, the last day to file. Smith then filed an objection to Ufodike candidacy on Nov 10, which was successful:

Illinois State Board of Elections Board Meeting Dec 9, 2025

Now, during all of this, had Tosi Ufodike resubmitted a Statement of Economic Interest to the Secretary of State, she would be on the ballot today. With all those smart guys looking at Ufodike's petitions, why didn't someone say something?

Nobody knows.
