The Northeast Illinois Chapter of Progressive Democrats of America is hosting a Congressional Forum for all Democratic candidates running in the primary election (March 20, 2012) for the Illinois 10th United States Congressional District seat.
This will be one of the most watched races in the country during the 2012 election as current Congressman, Robert Dold, a Tea Party Republican, is considered one of the weakest Republican candidates in office, and thus, could result in a potential upset for the Republican Party.
All primary candidates will be given time to present some brief statements on their positions with a focus on jobs and the economy , corporate personhood, healthcare, the United States’ wars and occupations, holding elected officials accountable, environmental issues, and how to ensure clean, fair, and transparent elections.
Once the candidates have presented their positions, we will open the floor to the public so that they may ask questions of the candidates.

Due to redistricting, YOUR district may have changed. Many areas will be experiencing changes in terms of which district they will fall into for the upcoming 2012 election. For example, while you may be presently served in the 8th District by Congressman Walsh, you could be voting in the 10th District in the 2012 election for who will represent you in the upcoming cycle.
The newly added areas of Illinois’ 10th Congressional District include Mundelein, Grayslake, Gages Lake, Wildwood, Third Lake, Venetian Village, parts of Gurnee, Long Lake, Fox Lake, Ingleside, parts of Lakemoor and Volo, Round Lake, Round Lake Beach, Round Lake Heights, Round Lake Park, and Hainesville.
