Abner Mikva is just one of many prominent Democratic leaders who has endorsed DAPAC. His name should be familiar, as he has recently been named as the mentor to Presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Abner Mikva graduated from the Univeristy of Chicago Law School and went on to become a US Congressman in Illinois' 2nd Congressional district from 1969 to 1973, and Illinois' 10th from 1975-1979. Following that he was appointed to the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, where he served as chief judge until his retirement in 1994 to become the White House Counsel to Bill Clinton until 1995. He has also taught law at Northwestern University and at the University of Chicago.
Mikva has consistently been an advocate for progressive politics and his endorsement means a lot to us at DAPAC. Being backed by such a respected member of the progressive Democratic community means that DAPAC only endorses candidates who meet our strict requirements for progressive causes. These issues include, being 100% pro-choice, supporting publicly funded universal healthcare, opposing the Iraq War, supporting stronger gay and lesbian rights, and many others.
