Voters are set to cast their ballots to decide competitive U.S. House races during the Illinois primary
Voters are set to cast their ballots Tuesday to decide competitive U.S. House races during the Illinois presidential primary. Democratic incumbents in at least two Chicago-area congressional races are locked in energetic challenges in the strongly Democratic territory. Here’s a look at both races: 7TH DISTRICTU.S. Rep. Danny Davis faces one of the toughest reelections of his long political career.
“I’m not running to be the quarterback for the Bears. I’m not running to carry the torch in the Olympics,” he said. “I’m running to use my knowledges, my expertise, my intellect.” He has backing from top Illinois Democrats. Gov. J.B. Pritzker and others held an endorsement event for Davis this month, praising his long record on healthcare, criminal justice and social services. Also running are Chicago educator Nikhil Bhatia and Kouri Marshall, a former deputy director for Pritzker.
