U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood has moved into the lead in her tightly contested reelection race against Republican challenger Jim Oberweis, according to new ballot counts filed late Saturday night by the Lake County clerk's office.

Those updated unofficial results show Underwood, a freshman Democrat from Naperville, picking up 2,071 more votes in Lake to Oberweis' 929, erasing the Republican's previous 558-vote lead across the 14th District and giving the incumbent a 584-vote edge."

The headline looks promising. I hope Underwood wins. Oberweis is horrible.

I think it is a vanity project for a lot of them.

They have no interest in serving.

They want to rule.

He has run at least six different times... for governor, US Senator, congress-critter, state offices... any office that fits his fancy. Illinois voters have told him no multiple times.

Thanks for posting. Your three points about this junior trump are spot on.
