Pollak For Congress

Joel Pollak, Republican Candidate For U.S. Congress Ninth District, Illinois When Joel Pollak asked Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) a particularly uncomfortable question during a Kennedy School (Harvard) event last spring, Frank unleashed one of his trademark tirades. That much Pollak expected. What he did not anticipate was the outpouring of support that followed - a flood, he claims, of emails and other messages expressing gratitude for his willingness to challenge the Congressman. Joel Pollak, who gained national attention after his heated exchange with the House Financial Services Committee chairman hit YouTube and Fox News, is hoping to unseat Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky in Illinois's 9th District.
