This district includes all or parts of several southwest suburbs, including Country Club Hills, Frankfort, Richton Park, Oak Forest, Hazel Crest, Matteson, Olympia Fields and Tinley Park. This district includes Evergreen Park, Oak Lawn, Chicago Ridge and Palos Hills. 36th Districtĭemocratic incumbent Kelly Burke of Evergreen Park faces Republican David Sheppard, the police chief of south suburban Robbins. Hurley’s opponent in this district, which stretches from the Far Southwest Side to the southwest suburbs, is Republican Herbert Hebein, a retired Chicago police officer whom she defeated in 20. Hurley showed she didn’t have to always toe the party line when she voted against the SAFE-T Act that overhauls the Illinois criminal justice system, after she listened to concerns from law enforcement about the bill. We’re pleased that Democratic incumbent Fran Hurley of Chicago formed the Illinois House Moderate Caucus, a group of lawmakers that she says is “focused on getting solutions and a balanced approach to governing.” In this era of political extremes, a more balanced, centrist path to solving issues makes sense. Fran Hurley, D-Chicago, speaks in the riding arena of the Chicago School for Agricultural Sciences on Sept. Walls believes anyone over 70 shouldn’t pay taxes, and that noncitizens should pay higher taxes than citizens. 34th Districtĭemocratic incumbent Nicholas “Nick” Smith faces Crete Republican Frederick Walls in the race for this district, which stretches from the Far South Side into Kankakee County. “Having them depend on traditional loans is not a solution,” Evans told us. He also wants to focus on finding ways that government can help improve access to capital for South Side small businesses that historically have been denied that access by the banking system. He told us he has worked to ensure inmates get a second chance through ample job opportunities after their release. Evans has capably represented this district, where constituents tell him crime and unemployment are pressing issues for them. Evans, a resident of the Avalon Park neighborhood, has been in office since 2012. against Republican Quintin Barton, a 38-year-old gig worker from the South Deering neighborhood. The race in this South Side district pits Democratic incumbent Marcus Evans Jr.
