After months of campaigning – and millions and millions of dollars spent from outside interests like AIPAC and cryptocurrency – several hotly-contested races for the U.S. Senate, governor and the U.S. House came to a close on Illinois’ Primary Day.
We’ll dig into everything you need to know with a panel of political experts: who won, who came up short, and how the results could shape up the general midterm election in the fall.
Our panel to help us break it all down: WBEZ’s Clare Lane, Mariah Woelfel and Mawa Iqbal; Jaime Dominguez, professor at Northwestern University; Connie Mixon, professor of political science at Elmhurst University; and Jim Durkin, former Minority Leader, Illinois House of Representatives.
We’ll also hear from candidates themselves, including:
Daniel Biss, mayor of Evanston, Democratic nominee for Illinois’ 9th Congressional District
Don Tracy, Illinois Senate Republican nominee
Darren Bailey, Illinois Governor Republican nominee
Juliana Stratton, Lt. Governor of Illinois, and Senate Democratic nominee
