I gathered as much. Still curious as to what's dumb about her rhetoric. I was skeptical about her jumping into the race initially, especially considering she didn't live in the district but found her rationale made sense given Millennials and GenZ have a hard time staying in one area and if the voters don't like it they won't vote for her.
Isn't Tax the Rich a pretty standard Democratic message at this point? As far as trolling goes... I don't really care about that. If the electorate doesn't care for it then they won't but it seemed to work out for Fetterman, as much as people loathe him now.
IтАЩll be sad to see her go, sheтАЩs the person who first got me into politics. ThereтАЩs a really deep bench in the district, but IтАЩve been betting for a while that it will turn into a primary between Laura Fine and Daniel Biss, since both represented the suburban core of the district in the State Senate but are from different parts of it (Biss is from Evanston, Fine from Glenview). Kelly Cassidy and Maria Hadden would both be really good candidates from the Chicago portion of the district if either ran.
Those are all great options. I'm sure I'll have a favorite, but I don't think we can go too wrong from that list. Excited to get to vote in a competitive primary here (and also for Senator).
I'm slightly curious to see whether someone from the more distant suburban part of the district gets in, but Evanston, Skokie, Niles, and Glenview are the big population centers.
I asked my cousin who still lives in the district, and he said that he thinks Cook County Commissioner Josina Morita will join the race, sheтАЩs from Skokie.
Jan Schakowsky to retire.
First Durbin, now Schakowsky. Hopefully that influencer challenger won't win her seat, but someone who actually lives in the district.
Her posts and her rhetoric are really dumb.
What do you find dumb about her rhetoric?
I was referring to Kat not Jan. I respect Schakowsky.

Like she is like tax the rich and will troll Vance, Schumer etc on social media which are fine but not serious enough to win a primary.

That's the point. Like I said I think it's fine but dwelling on it won't win the primary. All of us support it.
ThereтАЩll be some big guns getting in between Fine and Biss alone, so I doubt it

I don't want to see too many candidates, though. Last thing we need is for a crank to slip through an eight-way primary.
Davis, Quigley and FosterтАж the ball is in your court
IтАЩm not against Quigley and Foster retiring if they want to, but theyтАЩre still in their 60s, they arenтАЩt really too old for this yet.
Does it matter that Foster will be 71 in November next year
Davis should have been gone a long time ago.
SheтАЩs been a really good rep. A shame to see her go.
Says she hasnтАЩt decided:
I have not made a decision about my plans for re-election - I will make that decision in the coming weeks and announce on May 5.
