The Tribune Editorial Board endorses Eva-Dina Delgado (3rd), Lilian Jimenez (4th), La Shawn Ford (8th), Ann Williams (11th), Margaret Croke (12th) and Hoan Huynh (13th) for Illinois House.
Lawmakers work on the House floor at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield.
Delgado has been much better for this district than her predecessor, Luis Arroyo, who earlier this year was sentenced to nearly five years in prison for trying to bribe a state senator and was referred to by U.S. District Judge Steven Seeger as a “corruption superspreader.” Delgado has sponsored legislation to combat Chicago’s carjacking epidemic, including a bill that ramps up funding for law enforcement to go after the problem.
Alas, Welch and fellow Democrats duped voters again, and passed a remap that ensured one-party rule in Springfield. His opponent, Republican Eddie Kornegay of Forest Park, is a director of a community reentry program for inmates who says Illinoisans “deserve a fresh start and new beginning in leadership in Springfield.” We make no endorsement in this race.
Democrat incumbent Ann Williams has capably served this district, which includes parts of the Lincoln Park and Lakeview neighborhoods, since 2011. Vying for a seventh term, Williams, 54, has a strong dialogue with 11th District constituents, and was one of the 19 House Democrats who refused to back Madigan for another term as House speaker.
