IL-7: Exploratory Committee Filed: Veteran Illinois Congressman Danny Davis (D-Chicago) was first elected to the US House in 1996 after serving both as a Cook County Commissioner and on the Chicago City Council. Though his district is heavily Democratic and safe from a Republican opponent, Rep. Davis did have a relatively close call in the 2022 Democratic primary when he defeated community organizer Kina Collins by a 52-45% count. In 2020, he defeated the same opponent with a 60-13% victory margin.
At 81 years of age, he is considered a retirement prospect for the 2024 election. That being the case, Chicago City Treasurer and former state Representative Melissa Conyears-Ervin (D) yesterday formed a congressional exploratory committee for the 7th District. This is a March 2024 Democratic primary campaign to watch. IN-3: Former Rep. Stutzman Launches Comeback: Indiana Republican Marlin Stutzman, who served three terms in the US House before losing the 2016 US Senate Republican primary to then-Congressman Todd Young, announced yesterday that he will attempt to reclaim the seat he vacated eight years ago. The race, however, will be no gimme for the former Congressman and ex-state legislator. Already announced as candidates are state Senator Andy Zay (R-Huntington) and former Circuit Judge Wendy Davis, among others. In a district that the FiveThirtyEight data organization rates R+34, the successor to Rep. Jim Banks (R-Columbia City), who is now running for Senate, will be decided in the May 2024 Republican primary. MI-10: Another Democrat Surfaces to Challenge Rep. James: Yesterday, a third Democratic candidate came forward to compete for the party nomination to challenge Michigan freshman US Rep. John James (R-Farmington Hills). Emily Busch, a gun control activist and defeated state Representative candidate, said she will run for Congress next year. Already in the Democratic primary are attorney Brian Jaye and financial consultant and ex-state Rep candidate Diane Young. It is likely that 2022 nominee and former judge and prosecutor Carl Marlinga will return for a re-match. He will be heavily favored in the Democratic primary having lost to Mr. James by just a half-percentage point. The 10th District 2024 campaign again promises to be highly competitive and is a national Democratic congressional target. Comments are closed.
