What Went Down During The June 28 Primary Elections
And in Illinois’s 1st District, Jackson still maintains a sizable lead over his closest opponent, Dowell: 29 to 20 percent with 68 percent of the expected vote in. To be clear, the race still hasn’t been called, but it’s likely that South Siders will decide this race and elect a representative who can serve as a champion to the Black community in Congress.
The Republican primary is still in flux, too, but candidates Eric Carlson, Philanise White, Jeffrey Regnier and Geno Young are vying to represent their party this November. That said, this is a heavily Democratic district so I would bet that whoever wins the Democratic nod tonight (likely Jackson) will become the eventual representative for this seat.
