Illinois Dem Rep. Jan Schakowsky to Retire
Breitbart ^ | 04/23/2025 | Joel B Pollack

Posted on 04/23/2025 4:57:01 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. Jan Schakowsky, a left-wing Democrat who has represented the 9th congressional district of Illinois since 1999, will reportedly announce her retirement next month at the age of 80.

Politico reported:

Rep. Jan Schakowsky is planning to announce next month she won’t seek reelection after 14 terms in the House and has started informing allies of her retirement decision, according to two people granted anonymity to describe the private conversations.

The veteran Illinois Democrat, 80, confirmed in a statement that an announcement is forthcoming, though she did not say what it would entail: “I’m going to announce my plans on May 5th. Stay tuned,” she said. Schakowsky’s annual Ultimate Women’s Power Lunch is set for that date in Chicago.

Unless the Dem establishment in the district gets its act together, one of the Dems’ biggest Jewish supporters is going to be replaced with a trust fund youtuber who identifies as a Palestinian and while she’s smart enough to avoid saying she is pro-Hamas, she’s pro 90% of what Hamas stands for.

She's a total smokeshow, though. I'll give her that.

There's a conspiracy on the left side of X and Bluecry that Kat Abu is actually a stealth MAGA masquerading as a far-lefty to get elected.

I don't personally believe it, even if I'd like to.

Her husband, Robert Creamer was a convicted union thug who hired fellow union thugs to beat up Trump supporters at his 2016 rallies.

Left Media loved to distort the news and claim Trumpsters were violent.

Creamer and left media stopped when their antics were exposed.

Durbin, now Schakowsky. These are safe, fix-is-in congressional seats. It’s IL after all. Got to hand it to the commiecrats. Anything for the party. They’ll even self purge.

Wasn’t she at the front of onlookers when Joe Bribem allowed Social Security benefits for federal workers who had never paid into the system?
