Illinois heads to elect next senator and five congressional district candidates
AI Summary
On Tuesday, Illinois voters will participate in primary elections to nominate candidates for a U.S. Senate seat and five open congressional districts. The Democratic primary for Senate is a crowded race spurred by Senator Dick Durbin's retirement, featuring U.S. Representatives Raja Krishnamoorthi and Robin Kelly, and Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton. Krishnamoorthi has significantly outraised his opponents, while Stratton has gained momentum with support from Governor Pritzker. Due to Illinois' reliably Democratic lean, the primary winners are likely to win the general election and hold office for extended periods. State-level races, including Governor JB Pritzker's unopposed bid for a third term, are also on the ballot.
