Eight-term Democrat incumbent Rep. Dan Lipinski lost in the primary to an ultra-left challenger who came close to unseating him in 2018.
Marie Newman, owner of a marketing company and an up-and-coming voice of the far left, eked out a narrow victory over Lipinski, who had held the seat in Congress since 2005. His father, Bill Lipinski, had represented the district since 1983.
In truth, the character of the district had changed dramatically since 2010, when it was redrawn to include some of the more liberal suburbs in Dupage County. And Lipinski, who was one of the last pro-life Democrats and an unabashed supporter of Israel, had fallen out of favor with the radical left in Washington. They had been gunning for him for years.
CBS News:
The younger Lipinski had not faced a serious election challenge since taking office before Newman’s upstart campaign in 2018. However, some Democrats believe he is not in line with his party in Illinois and Washington, and Newman nearly rode a surge of progressive support to victory two years ago before finally pulling off a win on Tuesday. Newman, who owns her own marketing company, has said Lipinski is too conservative, especially on issues such as abortion, health care, and immigration; and has slammed him for his votes against Obamacare, and the DREAM Act to provide a path to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants.
Earlier this year, Lipinski was under fire for signing onto amicus brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to consider overturning Roe v. Wade.
Planned Parenthood Illinois Action denounced Lipinksi for signing onto the amicus brief.
Newman isn't an outright supporter of BDS, but she has made clear she supports the Palestinians' "right of return" and that aid to Israel should be conditioned on Israeli settlement policies.

Anybody who is pro-life or pro-Israel does not belong in the ‘rat party.
The Democrat Party has not changed one iota since it was advocating slavery and the ku klux klan.
McGovern would be socialist enough to be in line with the damnable DNC.
Yes, the last Cook County, Illinois Pro-Life Reagan Democrat booted out by the AOC Squad.
I predicted the Lipinski loss before all the votes came in: mosesdapoet to PBRCat 3/17 12:12:26 AM
Those who live in Chicago may have already voted at their local public library. In the 3rd Congressional district looks like Lipinski will lose because of the remapping which had areas in adjacent wards to his 23rd which were strong supporters but had areas with hispanic last names that were assigned to Gutieriez’s district.

He voted to impeach Trump. Bye.
“He voted to impeach Trump. Bye.”
Yes, he tried to appease AOC and the Squad, but too late.
Who is running as the Republican? Does anyone have any idea? Maybe if we can get some of Lupinsky’s voters to cross over!
(when in doubt, always blame the Jew)
