What Went Down During The June 28 Primary Elections
Finally, some more vote counts are in from Illinois’s 11th District Republican primary, with almost half of the expected vote reporting. Lauf is maintaining a slim and steady lead, 29 percent to Evans’s 23 percent. In third place is Mark Carroll with 21 percent. Lauf came into the race as a favorite. The winner will face Democratic incumbent Bill Foster.
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.
