SHARE New Michelle Obama ad airs day before UIC rally

Team Quinn is pulling out all the stops in star-studded political endorsements and the latest is a new TV ad where First Lady Michelle Obama urges voters to back Quinn for reelection.

The release of her TV ad comes one day before she leads a political rally for Quinn at UIC, which begins at 3 p.m. on Tuesday. It also follows Michelle Obama’s radio ad and follows the president’s visit to boost Quinn last week.
