Illinois: At Least Three GOP Incumbents Go Down
At least three GOP House incumbents lost their seats in Illinois tonight, according to Associated Press projections.
Here is a roundup of the competitive Illinois House seats as of late tonight:
Illinois’ 8th
Veteran Tammy Duckworth (D) defeated Rep. Joe Walsh (R).
Illinois’ 11th
Former Rep. Bill Foster (D) over Rep. Judy Biggert (R).
Illinois’ 12th
Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Enyart (D) defeated businessman Jason Plummer (R).
Illinois’ 17th
Former East Moline Alderwoman Cheri Bustos (D) defeated Rep. Bobby Schilling (R).
The only outstanding competitive Illinois race is for the 10th district. Almost 99 percent of precincts were reporting, but it was too close for the AP to call. Democrat Brad Schneider is challenging Rep. Robert Dold (R). Schneider was up by 1 point as this was posted.
The race for the 13th district between Rodney Davis (R) and David Gill (D) was also too close to call.
