IL-3 Dem Primary: Election Day!

I think Lipinski is really in trouble. But I also think it depends on who wins the governor race. If Pritzker wins this district, I doubt Lipinski goes anywhere but if Biss wins IL-3, he's toast.

Well Bernie Sanders won this District in the 2016 primaries.

Because local Latino leaders in the area endorsed Bernie, and the Latino Democratic voting bloc went for Bernie here.

Useless Pelosi at it again:

Conservative Democrat Dan Lipinski says DCCC now backing him against primary challenger

It's news to me that Pelosi runs the DCCC.....

And I'm fine with this, DCCC is incumbent protection too, and is funded... by the fundraising of those incumbents. This is what they have to do, it's policy to back incumbents, not to mention them not wanting to piss of the Blue Dogs.

Can't find any press on it, but worth noting that Newman's campaign is undergoing some labor trouble in the homestretch. A week ago, the Newman campaign agreed to a tentative contract with the Campaign Workers' Guild but has since stalled on actually signing.

There doesn't appear to be a stoppage, but CWG is engaging in various actions (more than people calling the office phone in support of the contract) etc. to bring the campaign back to the table.

If Lipinski was smart, he would unionize his campaign immediately, and start sending out mailers to union households.
