Candidates begin with new names and old names all in the same hand. Looking to get a head start against their competition. With Will County lighting up the political atmosphere, there are plenty of names in the game. Joliet's Mayor race and 4 district council race are heating up a with three candidates and one more possible candidate entering the race.
With a mess of candidates and the stakes high after a very Republican year in Illinois, we may see a huge shift in powers this year. Filing runs through December but we would not be supprised to see a few seats shifting hands. With Govonor Quinn losing to Bruce Rauner in the race for Govonor, and with Mark Batanick winning for his state rep race, the current trend is a Republican wave. This being great for the Republicans in the race.
The Joliet mayors race will be huge, along with the race for quite a few other seats. As the season wears on we will stay in tuned bringing you both sides of the story every time!
