As fellow Navy veteran, Arie was especially gratified by Senator Kirk’s endorsement. Additionally, Senator Kirk resides in the 29th District and will become a constituent of Dr. Friedman’s if he is elected on November 6th. Arie believes Senator Kirk embodies everything an elected official should be and intends to follow in his footsteps as a representative of the people.

“Words cannot describe how honored I am to be endorsed by Senator Kirk,” said Friedman. “Over the past few years, the Senator has become a friend and a mentor. I intend to make him proud by taking our shared commitment to fiscal discipline down to Springfield. As the Senator has said so many times, I plan to be a State Senator who will spend less, borrow less, and tax less. That’s the only way we will get Illinois back on the right track!”
