IL-14 is Denny Hastert's old seat the GOP lost this year during a special election. Dem Bill Foster defeated
Jim Oberweis 53-47, and the rematch is on. Bush carried this district in 2004 with 56%. As of 30 Jun the Dem incumbent has $443K cash, with $1.004M in debt. Oberweis had $547K on hand, with $1.645M in debt.

Both candidates are seriously in debt, but I can't get past that 56% GOP vote in 2004. Apparently Oberweis is a perpetual candidate who rarely if ever wins anything, so that may well be an advantage to Foster.
