Illinois lawmaker Dan Lipinski is one of the few Democrats who opposes abortion rights and progressive activists say he's too conservative for his district
CHICAGO — The ascendant Democratic left may have found the opening it needs to finally dislodge one of the party’s few anti-abortion House members in next month's Illinois primary.
"The credibility she has built up and whatever changes in the past two years demographically in the district give her a better shot,” Don Rose, a veteran Chicago political consultant who has advised elected Illinois Democrats for more than two decades, said of Newman. Besides better name recognition two years later, a half-dozen Chicago-area political analysts, consultants and Democratic insiders say Newman will likely benefit from a presidential primary process that's driving a large, more progressive group of voters to the polls. These observers say Lipinski’s operation has proven it can deploy a steady stream of supporters each election cycle but his political machine of labor unions and moderate voters can get steamrolled in presidential years.
Perhaps the biggest saving grace for Lipinski's 2020 reelection effort was a decision by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, cutting off substantial resources to candidates like Newman.
