Illinois SoS: 'A lot of this job is thankless. There are long days. We don't get paid a lot.'

Illinois State and Federal Democratic Officials take part in the Democratic Party of Illinois DNC Breakfast on Thursday Morning (8/22/24). Alexi Giannoulias, Illinois Secretary of State: "As elected officials know I see aldermen here I see mayors I see county chairman... a lot of this job is thankless. There are long days. We don't get paid a lot. But I think everyone here whether you're a Democrat or Republican whether you're an elected official whether you're watching on the couch - When you see a kid yelling there's my dad that's what this country is all about."
