From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the 17 U.S. representatives from Illinois, one from each of the state's 17 congressional districts (reduced from 18 in the redistricting cycle following the 2020 United States census).[1] The elections coincided with the 2022 U.S. Senate race in Illinois, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, other elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections. On November 23, 2021, Governor J. B. Pritzker signed the Illinois Congressional Redistricting Act of 2021, which established the new boundaries of the districts, into law.[2] FiveThirtyEight ranked Illinois as the most gerrymandered Congressional map drawn by Democrats following 2022 redistricting.[3]

Statewide
District 1
Summarize
Perspective
Before the 2020 redistricting cycle, the 1st district was primarily based in the South Side of Chicago. Under the new congressional map, although the 1st district is still based in Chicago, including portions of Bronzeville, Hyde Park, Grand Crossing, Morgan Park, and Roseland, it now reaches down to the southwest and takes in a collection of exurban and rural areas in Cook County, Will County, and Kankakee County. The former section is heavily black and the latter is heavily white; as a result, the district as a whole is slightly over 50% black.[4][5][6] The incumbent was Democrat Bobby Rush, who was re-elected with 73.8% of the vote in 2020.[7] On January 3, 2022, Rush announced that he would retire rather than seek a sixteenth term in office.[8]

Summarize
Perspective
Due to redistricting, the borders of several districts in the Chicago area changed dramatically. 3rd District Incumbent Marie Newman was drawn into the Latino-majority 4th District. As a result, Newman decided to switch to the redrawn 6th district and announced that she would be running against 6th district incumbent Sean Casten.[44] The new district contains about 40% of Newman's old district and about 25% of Casten's.[109] In the opening stages of the campaign both Casten and Newman declared an intent to run on their legislative records, and declared that they would not campaign negatively against each other.[110]

Perspective
Incumbent Republican Mary Miller then represented the 15th congressional district, and was running for re-election in the district. Due to redistricting, Republican Rodney Davis, who represented the 13th congressional district, resided in the 15th district and opted to run in the new 15th district rather than the more Democratic 13th. The new 15th district, located in western and central Illinois, includes all or parts of Adams, Bond, Brown, Calhoun, Cass, Coles, DeWitt, Edgar, Greene, Hancock, Henderson, Jersey, Logan, Macon, Madison, Mercer, Menard, Montgomery, Morgan, Pike, Sangamon, Schuyler, Scott, Shelby, Christian, Vermillion, and Warren counties.[47]

District 17
Summarize
Perspective
The incumbent was Democrat Cheri Bustos, who was re-elected with 52.0% of the vote in 2020.[102] She did not seek re-election in 2022.
The new 17th was drawn to be more Democratic-leaning than its predecessor. The new district contains nearly all of its Democratic-leaning urban portions of its former territory, while most of the Republican-leaning areas of the old 17th were drawn into the neighboring 15th and 16th districts. Had the new 17th existed in the 2020 election, Joe Biden would have carried it by eight points, whereas Donald Trump carried the old 17th by two points in 2020.
