Which Republican will run against Rep. Schakowsky? I hope a conservative will announce, for that race, this month.

I see you ran against her as a write-in last year, Phil. It’s a difficult district for Republicans, as you know. 2/3rds Dem seat. Last elected a Republican in 1946, who promptly lost to Sidney Yates in 1948. No GOP challenger has received over 40% of the vote since 1966. In the almost 50 years since, only one challenger has gotten to 36%, and that was future 8th district Congressman Joe Walsh in 1996 running against 87-year old Yates for his final term.
