Hey babe, IL06 here.

This you?

I can only assume that the consistent misspelling of Niki’s name is a reflection of Kelvin’s respect for and familiarity with her political activities in #IL06.

The Marie Newman revenge campaign in #IL06 against Sean Casten has fallen short. No DuPage in yet, but Casten is easily defeating a candidate heavily backed by her:

Sean Casten- 73.4%
Joey Ruzevich- 26.6%

Hi @durbin.senate.gov! IL06 checking in to let you know because of your yay vote on cloture today, I will never vote for you again, and work very hard to convince everyone else of the same.

Have a fun primary.

Sean Casten (IL06) said basically the same thing at a recent town hall. Movements are not created by leaders; leaders emerge from a movement started by the people!

I remember when this happened in #IL06 a little over 6 years ago... www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
‘Have you seen our congressman?’ Angry voters press GOP for answers.
Republicans’ efforts to avoid heated protests are rallying the opposition in one battleground House district in Wisconsin.

Marie Newman going all in to elect Joey Ruzevich over Sean Casten in #IL06 because she does not like Casten is hilarious.

Like she does NOT like Casten. In a downballot State House race between two similar-ish Democrats, she endorsed the primary opponent to Casten's endorsed candidate.

Back in 2018, the Illinois Dems were targeting #IL06 in the western suburbs of Chicago. Before they could flip the district, they had to get through a messy primary first.

Scientist Sean Casten won the primary by just a few thousand votes, mostly thanks to a dominant DuPage win.

#IL06 is the coolest. Name another district with a more entertaining, family-friendly activity this weekend. You can’t do it. chicago.suntimes.com/sports/2026/...

A conservative darling went down in flames this year in the suburban village of Orland Park.

Mayor Keith Pekau lost his bid for re-election in a landslide to Jim Dodge. Pekau, who ran for #IL06 in 2022, heavily played into the culture war and frequently feuded with local unions.

Surprisingly, the most competitive Congressional election in Illinois last year came in #IL06 in the southern/western suburbs of Chicago.

Democratic incumbent Sean Casten won re-election by eight points as Harris was carrying this district by five.

Over in #IL06, Democratic incumbent Sean Casten faced a primary challenge from the left in the form of Joey Ruzevich.

Casten was able to easily win, but lost/nearly lost several Muslim-heavy areas, especially around Little Palestine in Cook County.

Follow the example of IL06 where we flipped a district that had always been red and ousted Peter Roskam who refused to hold town halls in person. (And who wrote the truly evil tax reform act of Trump's last administration.) Postcards to Voters, billboards, lots of feet on the ground!!!

Because there's always an Illinois angle, it's worth mentioning that the potential next Congresswoman for #NH01, Maura Sullivan, was actually almost recruited to run for #IL06 back in 2018!

She was also almost recruited to run against Lipinski in #IL03!

Two years after nearly unseating Republican Governor Bruce Rauner in a Republican primary, conservative firebrand Jeanne Ives decided to make a run for #IL06 against freshman Democrat Sean Casten.

Ives ended up losing this suburban district by seven as Trump was losing it by 12.

One of the last bastions of conservatism in the western suburbs of Chicago fell in 2018 when the Democrats flipped #IL06.

Energy businessman Sean Casten was able to flip this Clinton+7 district by a little over seven points, unseating Republican incumbent Peter Roskam.

Daily Herald opinion: Sean Casten for reelection in 6th District
In the battle to represent Illinois’ 6th Congressional District, we have two highly educated candidates with backgrounds in the energy field. The similarities, however, end there. Democratic incumbe.....
