Reply #1: I Live in Illinois 5

[LPSJGMAN]

Ive never heard of this guy. Heck, when I moved from IL 13 to IL 5, I didn't bother to change my voting registration for the primary because I didn't think their were any important races.

I think Rahm is doing a good job so far. Seeing how IL 5, post Rostenkowski, seems to change hands from one Dem to another ( Honestly, I dint think Rahm is going to stay in the House for long), Id say that Johnny, keep waiting in the wings or run for something else. You also should go to a Democratic Party meetup at Goose Island brewery on Clybourn in Lincoln Park to meet some activists if you haven't done so already.

Illinois's 5th congressional district is basically the North Side of Chicago. Its encompasses Lincoln Park, De Paul University, Wrigleyville, and goes as far west as O'Hare airport. I think it goes almost as far north as Loyola University, where Jan Schakowsky's district comes into play.

This district is strongly democratic. Rod Blagojevich used to represent here, following some random one term Republican class of 94 tool, who followed Rostenkowski.
