SPRINGFIELD – While objections with the State Board of Elections remain pending, several members of the Illinois congressional delegation face challenges in the March 2018 primary.

Among Democrat incumbents, 1st CD's Bobby Rush, 2nd CD's Robin Kelly, 3rd CD's Dan Lipinski, supposedly retiring 4th CD's Luis Gutierrez, 5th CD's Mike Quigley, 7th CD's Danny Davis, will face other names on the ballot.

Republican incumbents Adam Kinzinger (IL-16), Mike Bost (IL-12) and Darin LaHood (IL-18) will face primary challengers.

The Democrats are running polls in swing districts such as the 6th CD, suggesting Roskam could be in danger of losing his seat in 2018 and helping the Democrats regain a majority in the U.S. House. Hillary Clinton won in Roskam's district in 2016.  

Bobby Rush faced one challenger in the 1st CD race until he withdrew after Christmas:
