Let’s root for Colleen for Congress. Thanks to a heads up from Cyndi Young we learned about a report in the Springfield Register.

Colleen Callahan, a former agriculture reporter for Peoria radio and television stations, is asking the Democratic Party to be its nominee this fall for the 18th Congressional District.

She said Thursday that numerous people have asked her to run, and after discussing it with family and friends, she is now actively seeking the support of the party’s 20 county chairmen.

Many of you know Colleen from her years at WMBD in Peoria and now with her own firm, Colleen Callahan Communications.
