He's up, as of now. And he did well in mail-ins in the general so unless the last 11.5% breaks hard against him, this is a Let's Go Brandon night.

“Democrat” Paul Vallas

This guy would have fit in pretty well with Rs down here in Southern Illinois.

Now to see if the FOP threat of mass resignations happen or if a bunch of them just continue to do their job but even shittier…

I’m not giving dick Durbin that much credit. Tons of party people came out for Vallas and I have no clue why. Vallas has been ragging on democrats for years now, but I guess Dems still want the business friendly guy.

For Chicagoland suburb news: D'Arcy beats O'Dekirk for Joliet mayor. Eat poo poo, O'Dekirk, you corrupt, abusive authoritarian! I hope you enjoy unemployment and maybe next time don't beat up your constituents with your own hands!

Vallas was Pat Quinn’s running mate when Bruce Rauner won. :lol:

In 2002, he came in second to Blagojovich in the Democratic primary for governor.

Just an all around loser that just keeps hanging around.

This. I think Jesse White might be the most milquetoast Illinois democrat, and he was doing commercials for Vallas for some reason.

The bottom three were the "We the Parent" slate backed by Awake and Moms for America along with the local republican org. The Homer Township Republican Organization's village mayor, clerk and trustees all got trounced as did their library slate. The HTRO's organizers and elected officials are pretty insane and have pissed off a lot of the local Republicans, so it came down to a lot of infighting. And they pissed off a lot of people across the board last fall trying to sell off open space land. Traditional crappy suburban R's vs. ultra-MAGAs who were even calling people's employers to report on-the-clock FB posting to get people fired.



Weirdly looks like WtP did take 2/3 of the Highschool district seats despite the typically more conservative feeder grade school districts rejecting WtP. Lockport D92 is maybe 2/3 WtP as well, that last seat is within a couple votes either way.

Some McLean County news -

The major issue today was a school tax referendum re-run. It lost 47-53 in November but the district got their messaging tight and decided for another go. It was big news here and pushed Normal IL to a 26% voting rate for a non-mayoral off-year election.

The referendum passed today 59-41, a thorough massacre.

With it, the four far right school board candidates got utterly wiped out. None even broke 10%. Their fear-mongering and opposition to the referendum doomed them.

And because the school referendum was so polarizing and driving Democratic turnout, all the furthest right candidates for Town of Normal lost, including our very own local Trump-type far right council member, who has been spending his time getting into fist fights with reporters and disrupting meetings.

I wouldn't say Normal has a progressive town council, now. Far from it. But it's the bluest we could have gotten this time around with the candidates we have.

I'm relieved. Extremely relieved. It was a fantastic night here.
