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.
Every congressional district elected a candidate to the House of Representatives position for every participating party. This work keenly looks at individual candidates running for any congress position available in Illinois. This brief analysis is in terms of their performance in primary elections, their chances of winning or losing, and whether they faced tough competition or not.
The first congressional district will have a Democrat, Bobby Rush, running against Jimmie Lee Tillman II. At the same time, the second district shall witness a tough battle between Republican Eric Wallace and incumbent Robin Kelly. Two candidates; Marcus Lewis and Charles Rayburn were removed from the race.
Sharon Brannigan beat a former Republican candidate during the previous eleventh District elections, Diane Harris, to win the third congressional district title after garnering more than half the total number of votes cast compared to 37.4% garnered by Harris. She will face former holder of that position, Democrat Daniel Lipinski, in the coming general elections.
The forth district will witness a tough battle between Hector Concepcion, a Republican, and Luis Gutierrez, a Democrat. Hector was removed from the ballot in 2012, and is back to make appeals this year. Incumbent, Gutierrez on the other hand, is seeking to defend his post after defeating fellow democrats, Alexandra Eidenberg and Jorge Zavala in their party primary held in March.
In district number five, Republicans will have no representation in this general election. Michael Quigley and Wade Nancy are the only candidates in this contest. In district six, incumbent Republican Peter Roskam is expected to meet Michael Mason of the Democratic Party in what is presumably the fiercest in these elections. In the seventh one, Robert Bumpers will battle out with Danny Davis from the Democratic Party. Dan Roche made a decision to withdraw from this contest several days to the primary elections.
In district number eight, Lawrence Kaifesh will battle with Democrat incumbent Tammy Duckworth, while Susanne Atanus of the Republican Party will be up against incumbent Janice Schakowsky in district nine district. The tenth district will witness a battle between incumbent Brad Schneider of the Democrat Party and Robert J. Dold. Arlene Hickory was withdrawn from the race.
The eleven district, a shall witness a tough battle between Bill Foster and Darlene Senger. Darlene defeated three fellow party members to clinch the right to vie against Foster in November. Foster won his position uncontested. In district twelve, there shall be three contestants for the seat; Mike Bost, Paula Bradshaw and William Enyart. In congressional district number thirteen, Rodney Davis, Josh Dill and Callis Ann will battle out for the position.
The race to the fourteenth district title is made up of incumbent Randy Hultgren and Anderson Dennis as the only pair of candidates during the general election. The fifteenth congressional position involves two competitors: Eric Thorsland and John Shimkus. Similarly, the sixteenth one brings together Randal Olsen and Adam Kinzinger in a fierce contest. The seventeenth district is an affair between Cheri Bustos and Bobby Schilling of the Democratic and Republican Parties respectively. The eighteenth position will experience a serious battle between Darrel Miller and Aaron Schlock.
