IL-06: Casten vs. Newman?

[Gracile]

Thought this was relevant here. Marie Newman has announced that she will run in the newly drawn IL-06 where Sean Casten resides-

Newman does not live in this district, but her home is a stone's throw away and contains much of her former district (in fact, geographically the plurality of this district's residents are from the old IL-03).

Thoughts on this potential primary?

Did Newman beat Lipinski the parts of her district that are carrying over? Could see some lingering resentment from his voters doing her in, even if Casten obviously isn't Lipinski.

Could be wrong but I believe the Hispanic areas in which Lipinski performed the strongest are not in this new district.

It's kind of a wash in that regard. They also got rid of some of Newman's best parts of the city in Bridgeport and kept in Mount Greenwood and Clearing precincts that Lipinski performed well in. Obviously, the dynamics are much different against Casten (I do think she could get at least somewhat of an incumbency boost among certain demographics from her old district - specifically the remaining Hispanic and Arab communities) and much of the new territory added in is up for grabs.

The people complaining about supporting "Hamas terrorists" as a major liability have clearly never been to the Southwest burbs.

Not surprising, but EMILY's List endorsed Newman today-
