I’ll be sad to see her go, she’s the person who first got me into politics. There’s a really deep bench in the district, but I’ve 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, she’s from Skokie.

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.
