The political temperature is rising not only in Washington but here in Illinois, with a fair amount of jostling over the future of veteran west suburban GOP congressman Peter Roskam.
In the past few days, at least three groups of Roskam constitutents have gone public with gripes that the Wheaton Republican and aides are refusing all requests to meet with them on issues of interest, especially the future of Obamacare.
In addition, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the party's House campaign unit, put both Roskam's district and that of adjoining suburban Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Wheaton, on a target list of key GOP seats it will go after in the 2018 elections.
Roskam's office replies that he frequently meets with all sorts of groups and suggests that Democrats are just playing politics.
