Illinois Republicans Suffered Major Election Losses

[RandySF]

The Illinois Democratic Party backed 280 candidates on the ballot for various local offices across the state last week and 222, or 79% of them, were victorious, the Chicago Tribune reports.

In most suburban communities, the GOP was virtually shut out.

2. Great news!

Wish I could say the same thing for my locality. The number of local races with no Democratic candidate was rather disappointing.

Fortunately, I had a list of recommended candidates for elementary and high school boards and community college board of trustees that was provided by the local Democratic committee. The ballot didn't show a party affiliation for those, so voting on them would have been a shot in the dark otherwise.
