NBC News projected Cook County Commissioner Donna Miller as the winner of the Democratic primary for Illinois’ 2nd Congressional District. She will face the general election on November 3.
Miller defeated nine other Democratic challengers, including former Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. and State Senator Robert Peters. The seat is currently held by Representative Robin Kelly. NBC News projected Miller as the winner, and the article says she won the Democratic nomination.
Miller’s campaign platform included Medicare for All, protecting reproductive rights, rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, and challenging the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts. The article reports that Peters criticized her fundraising and that nearly $900,000 in donations came from out-of-state donors, citing FEC filings and the Hyde Park Herald.
