There are fifteen candidates in the Democratic Party contest for who will Run for Congress in the 9th Congressional District.
The Chicago Tribune picked a twelve-year Springfield legislator, State Senator Laura Fine.
“Fine led the charge in Springfield to give the state Department of Insurance far more authority to regulate health insurers, a law enacted in 2024. She strikes us as a measured, reasonable and principled lawmaker who understands how to work with fellow legislators and should appeal to those in the district who admire Schakowsky for her record as a fighter for women’s rights and a powerful female member of Congress. Fine is extremely well regarded in Springfield, a major factor in our endorsement of her.”
