One good thing did happen this week -- congratulations, Marie4Congress!
After eight terms as Illinois’ congressman, Dan Lipinski has been unseated by progressive businesswoman Marie Newman.
ADVERTISEMENT Lipinski followed in the footsteps of his father William, taking over the position his father held since 1983 back in 2005. Two years ago, Newman came within 2,200 votes of Lipinski. As a result of that near-miss, Newman buckled down and initiated an aggressive campaign in order to be ready for this year’s rematch. This victory ends a nearly 40-year-long run of Lipinskis in this seat.
Newman has been backed by several organizations and earned endorsements early on from progressive politicians such as Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Justice Democrats. With a campaign centered around emphasizing her policy positions on making health care affordable and reducing gun violence, Newman was able to successfully highlight her opponent’s shortcomings.
