Illinois is one of the states that will be going to the ballot this year. Everything is set at the moment; candidates have gone through the primary elections, and every citizen now knows his Illinois congress candidate 2014. The state primary elections were held on 18/ March/2014, and each party chose a representative for the forthcoming general elections.
The senatorial battle will be held on 4/11/ 2014. Former senator and Senate Majority Whip, Democrat Dick Durbin is expecting another period in office. He, however, must beat competition from Oberweis Jim, a Republican Party member. Both of them comfortably won the primaries, with Durbin winning unopposed.
In each of the eighteen districts, a representative was nominated to carry the flag for each of the parties. This article discusses individual contestants and the way they performed in the preliminary elections. It also attempts to analyze every individual candidate; their history, and possibility to win or lose.
In district one; Bobby Rush will be representing the Democratic Party against the Republican, Jimmie Lee Tillman II while in district two, Erick Wallace will carry the flag for the Republicans against Robin Kelly who is a Democrat and incumbent. Charles Rayburn and Marcus Lewis were both removed from the ballot.
The third district will field Sharon Brannigan who defeated Diane Harris, the then aspiring representative of the eleventh District of this state in 2012, and Daniel Lipinski in November during the general elections. Sharon got 62.6% of the total number of votes cast beating Harris by a margin of 24.8% of the total number of votes.
The forth one will arouse an animated battle between Concepcion Hector, a Republican, and Luis Gutierrez, a Democrat. The name of Hector was knocked out two years ago, and he is coming back to appeal in a special way this year. Incumbent, Luis on his part, is looking forward to defending his position after downing fellow democrats, Eidenberg Alexandra and Zavala Jorge in their party primaries held earlier this year.
In district number five, Republicans are not represented. Mike Quigley will face Nancy Wade. In the sixth district, Republican incumbent Peter Roskam will meet Democrat Michael Mason in what might be a fierce battle.
