Just so you know Helen Lindow is Jack’s aunt.
Jack Franks (D) “a player” for Gov? Check the D-2’s »

What’s that old saying, “Perception, is 9/10th’s of reality? Getting momentum for a race for Governor, is a lot about being perceived as being a “player”. . . which means being able to raise lots of money.
Capital Fax calls Rep. Jack Franks, (D), who is considering a run for Illinois Governor, a “player”, because he has just reported raising a little over $1.3 million in the first 6 months; indicating just a part of that $1.3 million was a $150,000 loan to himself.
That seemed an impressive amount of money raised in 6 months.
However, if you look at the D-2’s; here’s where over $1 million of the $1.3 million came from.
$150,000 Loaned to himself
$250,000 Contributed to Jack Franks from his father
$450,000 Contributed to Jack Franks from his mother
$200,000 Contributed to Jack Franks from his wife
Makes one a bit curious to see what the relationship is to the other two contributors listed; Real Estate Broker Steven Kling, who contributed $100,000, and Helen Lindow, owner, Lindow’s Appliance, who contributed $50,000.
Rep. Jack Frank’s father, Herbert H. Franks, is a trial lawyer. One might call him, “a player”.
Ah, perception
