The 2024 primary elections are here for Illinois, with voters casting their ballots in primary races for President, U.S. House seats, Cook County State's Attorney, Illinois General Assembly seats, and more on Tuesday.
One of the big races to watch is Illinois' 7th Congressional District. Congressman Danny Davis, who holds the seat, is being challenged by several candidates saying the South and West sides need a fresh face and a fresh start to bring fresh dollars and ideas to struggling neighborhoods."I think it's a tough time to be a public official," he said.
Real estate and business groups spent weeks fighting to block the ballot question, claiming it is unconstitutional, but lost their court battle when the Illinois Supreme Court declined to take up a lower court ruling in favor of the referendum. The winner of the Democratic primary taking place a week from Tuesday is widely expected to win the seat come November.
