Which Democrat do you hope will win their governor primary? I hope Sen. Biss will win it. I’m also glad that he’s not running for re-election, causing the 9th state senate district to have an open race for the first time since 2002. When I lived in that district (which includes Wilmette, most of Glenview, and most of Northbrook), I thought that district had a lot of Republicans, but I don’t think anyone has announced, for that race.
Biss is catering to the far left as isn’t rich. So yeah I’d love for him to win the primary instead of Prickger or Kennedy cause Rauner would have an easier time with him.
Biss was elected to the Senate by a 2-1 margin in 2012 and reelected without opposition. The district also includes Evanston, it’s hard to imagine a Republican is gonna win it. BOE website doesn’t have candidate filings for 2018 up yet.
