Tribune endorsements for Congress in 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 17th districts

Here is the second and last part of the Tribune support for the US Congress on March 19 for the competition for competition in Illinois.

11th

Representing by Democrat Bill Foster, most McHeenry and Ken Counties are included in the 11th Congress district of Illinois, along with Bune, Lake, Declab, Dupez, Cook and parts of Cook and Wills. There are primary competitions on both sides of the ticket.

Foster is a human rights lawyer Kasim Rashid to face a challenge from the left, which first fled to another state. “I am the only Democrat,” Rashid told us, opposite himself with the foster, “who is committed to the International Human Rights Act and calls for a complete and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all the hostages, and the end of the possession and settlements to save both Israeli and Palestine-Jo is opposite to my opponents.”

Rashid is a serious, logical candidate, and many of his other positions will appeal for progress. He told us that he supports the termination of Electoral College and if chosen, he says that he would “fight for progressive tax reforms to ensure that the corporation and the wealthiest people pay their proper part.”

“I am the only Democrat that rejects all corporate PAC money, which more than 90% of Americans want – unlike my opponents who have taken millions in corporate PAC money,” Rashid told us, Foster said in the thrill of big business.

The foster rejects that characterization.

“The most pressure issue in front of people in my district is recovering from inflation of the last few years.” Foster told us. “I believe that the best way to address it is the mandatory of life by increasing the wages of workers and helping the families of low and medium-or-I.”

A liberal democrats, in the foster, are usually located on the middle-road on democratic positions of mid-road: “To help the families to bear essential commodities and services,” he told us, “I also support us to restore child tax credit expansion; to give subsidy to ineffective child care costs; Snapped and make them extending more; Bringing the cost of college and student loans more affordable, to make the cost of loans more affordable (cheap care acts);

They also have a general-knowledge approach to problems on the border: “I have signed in support of additional funding for motion sensors, thermal cameras, cargo scanners and similar technology, which will be much more effective and less expensive than the construction of a physical wall,” he said “We should invest more heavy to invest in our immigration courts.”

In this competitive district, Foster has been supported in Democratic Primary.

On the Republican side of the ticket, the influential physician-Attorney O Kent Mercado owner Jerry Evans and Business Owner Susan Hathaway-Altman, who is billing as an anti-installation candidate.

Mercado, who was the President who had no evidence of fraud in Biden’s election, says he “expects to restore democratic values ​​and norms: important to reduce the American democratic system.”

“This may include promoting transparency in the government, freedom of speech and protecting the press and ensuring that the elections are free and fair,” he told us. He also said that he believes that Donald Trump should stay on the ballot in Illinois, a situation with which we agree. In fact, we like this candidate a lot.

As a physician, Mercado says that he focuses on maintaining inexpensive, available health care, and he told us that “the issues of the kitchen table” would be at the forefront of his tenure.

Evans described two most pressure issues in its district as “inflation and illegal immigrant crisis”.

“We need to prevent waste expenses and bring inflation under control,” he told us. “Securing the southern border is a human, foreign policy and economic imperative.” Evans does not support assistance to Ukraine disintegrating from border politics, nor does it support the ban on the sale of semi-automatic rifles.

Although Evans is a better funded candidate and comes with a strong appeal to the trust-based Republican, we think Mercado Congress is most likely to work in the corridor and work for American people.

Mercado is supported.

12th

The Republican 12th district, which extends to the Illinois-Mishori-Kentaki-Indian border and covers the southern access of Illinois, has been represented by Mike Bose since 2015. But on the Republican side of the ticket, Bose is being lost by former Republican Gubrantorial candidate Darren Bailey.

We rejected Bailey, a successful farmer who called the city “Halhole” and a “problem child” back and then his pathetic posing on X (east (east (east Twitter) The previous New Year eve with guns and ammunition, and a tinnpot dictator, while announcing that he would not “comply” with intelligent gun rules in this state, rarely wanted us to change our mind. We have a lot of differences with Bose, who have the support of Donald Trump and support the National Rife Association, but he is a five -term Congressman who has long served the people of this rural district. It is certainly notable that this right -wing Republican will face a challenge from its right rival yet, but, in any event, belly does not provide reliable opposition.


Bose is supported.

On the Democratic side, the competition is between the 33 -year -old Preston Gabriel Nelson of Lebanon, who has very little political experience and opposed to support Ukraine, and Bryan Roberts, a lawyer, specializing in criminal defense, who has not given much information about a campaign.

Nelson raced for the Congress in 2020 in the 8th district under the Libeterian party banner. Roberts did not answer our questions. The tribune is not supporting this democratic caste.

13th

The 13th district of Illinois includes Champaign, Urbana, most Decatur and Springfield, and the Illinois part of the metro St. Louis. Holubered Democrat Nikki Budzinski runs unopposed.

He has two Republicans who are dying to oppose him in the fall: Joshua Lloyd and Thomas Claterbuck.

Loyd told us that he “is running on three columns: teachers, preachers and service, which represents education, community participation/beautification and first respondents/military.” He is the owner of a business that was educated in the West Point.

We liked Loyd’s emphasis on bipartisan and also support him for Ukraine and his opposition to Hamas. And he admitted that Joe Biden was legally chosen. Thomas Claterback is the 2016 graduation of the University of Illinois and lives in Champagne, where he tells us that he is now a law student. He says that his political experience is limited to the Precent Committee.

Claterbacks have some interesting ideas on the need to install a regulatory structure for emerging technologies such as “AI and self-driving vehicles”, which he considers a pressure issue in his district.

Apparently, however, Loyd has a more political and relevant life experience, and is considered well at the Republican party.

Loyd is supported.

14th

The 14th district includes Democratic Holubial, which is now Kendall County, Southern Half of Decklab County, Northern Lasellal County, Northeast Putnam County and Will, Kane and parts of Bureau Counties Lauren underwood. She runs unopposed in primary.

Republican Challengers James t. “Jim” is Marter and Charlie Kim.

Marter, a self-employed software advisor, is a former representative for Donald Trump. He is an inaccessible radical that states that he will “eliminate the sanctuary cities and states and enforce the law against elected officials and bodies that are in violation of the federal law.” He included underwood in the list of “anti -radical Americans” in the Congress. Marter opposes foreign aid and states that he has “zero worry for bipartisation”, which does not sit well with us, nor sings well for democracy. He believes that Biden, who was not a properly elected President of the United States, is an ineligible for us.

Charlie Kim, owner of immigrant business, has seen what. As we can, try, we were difficult to understand their policy positions, and he is not known in the Republican Circle in Illinois.

The tribune is not supporting this race.

17

Democrat Eric Sorensen is geographically expanded in the 17th district, which covers most parts of Northwestern Illinois, including Illinois side of quad cities and parts of Pieoria and Rockford. He runs unopposed.

On the Republican side of the ticket, Milan’s Scott Alan Craul, who describes himself as a lifelong farmer and is the former chairman of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, retired Rockford Judge and former prosecutor who faced against McGrag.

Craul says that he is “an American First Republican” who is running as an external candidate as he is concerned about the directions of the country, “high inflation, out-of-control loan, anarchy on our southern border” Anarchy “Between the problems of the country,” along with the problems of the country, “as well as the coastal clans, which is the only concern about how to live in power.” He calls Seema as “Baddaram” and says that he will “finish the construction of the wall.”

McGrag says that he is “ready to take corruption in Washington and returns our district to a safe, independent and economically rich community.” He is a lifetime Illinois and former chairman of the Chief Justice’s Illinois Conference.

McGrag is supported by most of the state’s major Republican (including House Minority Leader Tony McCombi), which clearly felt its broad background in the judicial system (he was a judge for a few years) will allow him to officially speak on issues of importance for most Republican voters.

Two conservative laws-and-order, Pro-Polys, America-first promote the same policies in terms of focus, but McGrag has expressed more medium views on immigration and, in an interview with Bloomington’s pantgraph, he expressed his desire to appeal to Reagan Democrats and Non-Callable voters, which I am thinking. ,

We see Macgra as the most useful experience and comprehensive appeal of these two candidates and thus the best option for Republican is the possibility of being a competitive district in the fall.

Macgra is supported.
