“BTW, the rep from Peoria is a young, white Republican in a 40% black dist. Who gets reflected.”
You mean the US House district? IL-18 contains Peoria and is ~7% black. (And has been electing Republicans forever.)
I don’t know his district. I heard him speak and I thought he said Peoria was in his district, but I clearly remember him saying his district had a high % of blacks.
