Christine Cegelis is an IT consultant and was the 2004 Democratic candidate for the 6th Congressional district of Illinois. Coming from a career in Information Technology, she knew what she wanted, and naturally she came to Advomatic. Cegelis' 2006 race was a grassroots effort working to overcome a well-funded machine-politics campaign supported by establishment politicians and media. Despite the loss, her supporters say it may be seen as as a populist victory against the established beltway insiders.

In 2004, Cegelis received 44.2% of the vote against U.S. Representative Henry Hyde, a sixteen-term incumbent. This was more than any challenger had received since Hyde's first run for Congress in 1974. In 2005, Hyde announced that he would retire at the end of his next term. Cegelis' surprise showing (a near-win) is seen as largely due to the increasingly diverse demographics of DuPage County and her innovative outreach techniques.
