Checked out my sample ballot ahead of early voting starting and am a bit bummed at the lack of Dem placeholders to vote for in McLean County.
Not a single countywide office is contested by Dems despite Pritzker and Duckworth winning the county in 2022 and Biden and Durbin winning the county in 2020.
I know the Illinois Dems are doing just fine without a vibrant McLean County Democratic Party existing but if any part of the state is crying out for better Dem organization it’s here.

Bost, LaHood, and Miller (no relation) voted against the stopgap federal funding bill. No surprise.
