Jim Oberwies (R) Doug Truax (R)
Republican Douglas Lee Truax loses primary against Jim Oberwies. Jim Oberwies being a returning candidate won the race by a close call. Now for the next few months to see where this run will lead. Doug Truax a first time politician ran a better than expected race. With Truax taking 44% percent and Oberwies taking 56% with over 78% of the votes counted, Truax conceded to Oberwies reports say. Now this election cycle has ended we will see where lead us in the general elections. Jim being known for wining a state senate seat in 2013 will now again be in the runs for a seat in Washington, DC. The American business man and owner of the famous Oberwies milk we all love will be up to represent us in the US senate. We can only hope this attempt goes as planned for Oberwies. Also don't think we have seen the last of Doug Truax, his campaign reminding us of only one other recent Illinois candidate, that being Dave Carlson in 2012 for States attorney. With more and more talented candidates coming to light every day we could finally see some great changes.
