Democratic Representative Mike Quigley secured his reelection to the U.S. House on Tuesday, continuing his long-standing representation of Illinois. Quigley initially gained the seat through a special election in 2009, and he has since become a prominent voice within the Chicago area. Earlier this year, he was notably one of the first members of Congress from the Democratic Party to urge President Joe Biden to reconsider his candidacy for reelection following what many viewed as an underwhelming debate performance.

The district Quigley represents encompasses a variety of communities along the shores of Lake Michigan and extends northwest from the city, incorporating a significant portion of O’Hare International Airport along with adjacent suburbs. His victory was officially announced by news outlets at 9:05 p.m. EST, marking another successful chapter in his political career.
