Dem incumbents Mike Quigley, Sean Casten, Brad Schneider and Nikki Budzinski all rather easily defeated primary challengers.
Quigley managed around 65% in #IL05 against three opponents. Notably, he's already running for Mayor of Chicago next year.
What's the best you can picture the Israel-skeptical candidates doing in Illinois primary?

I think two US House incumbents need to fall to challenges from the Left.
• #IL05 Quigley beat by @conroyforcongress.bsky.social
• #IL06 Casten beat by Ruzevich
• #IL10 Schneider beat by @coghillforcongress.bsky.social

I wholeheartedly believe that if you are able to vote for Matt for #IL05 in the upcoming primaries you should do so.
Presumably, AIPAC would prefer the following incumbents win:
#IL05 Mike Quigley
#IL06 Sean Casten
#IL10 Brad Schneider
#IL13 Nikki Budzinski

For 17 years, #IL05 has been represented by a reliable vote for the war machine. Rep. Mike Quigley has cemented his legacy not by standing for his constituents, but by standing with AIPAC, consistently voting to send billions in weapons to Israel as it carries out a genocide.
Liberals need to get walked through the thought process.
It's interesting to see Democratic Party consultants come around before members of Congress (eg, Quigley ( #IL05) & Foster ( #IL11)).
Right now, #IL09 is represented by Rep. Jan Schakowsky.
Voting for Daniel Biss is signing up to get someone about as progressive as Rep. Mike Quigley (D- #IL05) or Rep. Sean Casten (D- #IL06).
Being in Congress is how Mikey Quigley plans to fundraise for his 7th place run for Mayor. #IL-05 #IL05
@tamezforcongress.bsky.social is one. #IL05
Home page of https://www.ellenois.net/ Ellen Corley, born in Georgia and a progressive Democratic candidate for Illinois’s 5th Congressional District, brings four decades of real-world experience to a campaign built on one core conviction: The hidden machinery of corruption - inside government, finance, and media - must be exposed and dismantled before it destroys what remains of American democracy. A former high school teacher turned marketing research consultant with an M.B.A. from the University of Illinois at Chicago, Corley entered public life in 2008 when the financial crisis caused many families to lose their homes. People's ruin ignited a decade-long investigation into police brutality, wrongful convictions, and the flow of dark money that shields both. From organizing with the Chicago Alliance for Racist Political Repression to testifying at City Hall on civilian oversight of the police, she has earned a reputation as the district’s most relentless voice for the exonerated and the erased. Corley’s platform is unapologetically systemic. She calls for: Criminal justice overhaul that ends cash bail, abolishes private prisons, and re-directs federal dollars from militarized policing to restorative justice and mental health courts. Medicare for All funded by closing the carried-interest loophole and taxing algorithmic trades that skim billions from working families. Election reform that outlaws SuperPACs, mandates paper ballots, and makes Election Day a federal holiday. She has supported police accountability for withholding torture files, who has marched with Jon Burge survivors, and who refuses corporate

Ellen Corley (D-IL05), one of my favorite campaign websites I've found so far researching midterm candidates. More candidates should use the Web 1.0 aesthetic.

What the hell is wrong with Mike Fucking Quigley? #IL05
Mike Fucking Quigley #IL05 is not a co-sponsor?
In the last 25 years I have lived in various districts:
VT-AL @balint.house.gov ✅️
#IL03 ✅️
#IL02 @robinlynnekelly.bsky.social ✅️
#IL07 Danny Davis ✅️
#MD04 @ivey.house.gov ✅️
But not Quigley.
Don't think anyone has noticed this yet, but an hour ago, #IL05 Congressman Mike Quigley updated his campaign finance page with the state of Illinois to show that he's running for Mayor of Chicago in 2027.
Could be soon officially joining a *VERY* crowded field
What would be the most Right Wing outcome in Illinois Dem primaries?
Comptroller: Croke? Kifowit?
US Senate: Leavell?
#IL01: Jackson?
#IL02: ?
#IL03: Knutson
#IL04: Chuy
#IL05: Quigley
#IL06: Casten
#IL07: Boykin
#IL08: Bean
#IL09: Leon
#IL10: Schneider
Thank you #MikeQuigley, #IL05!!!
Thank you for voting against #HR719!!!
🗳️ #NationalVoterRegistrationDay 🗳️
Voting is how we take power back from those who abuse it. IL-05 deserves more than an incumbent who sides with big money & ignores our neighbors.
Check. Update. Register. Vote.
#IL05 #AllPowerToThePeople
If you do believe in improving politics by improving the Democrats in elected office, the #IL05 race is one where there is an enormous difference between Quigley and @tamezforcongress.bsky.social.
BlueSky changes how people think.
Mikey Quigley can post this vapidness on Facebook and initially at least half the comments were neutral or positive (on FB).
On BS, Quigley gets dragged hard by almost everyone. #IL05
BTW, Quigley has a challenger in Democratic primary in 2026: @tamezforcongress.bsky.social
#IL05
Mikey, thank you for helping me explain why I developed true contempt for you when you were my representative in Congress. #IL05
#IL05 candidate @tamezforcongress.bsky.social
February 1, 2018, ago Rep. Mike Quigley (D- #IL05) posted to Facebook a video criticizing Pres. Donald Trump for not even addressing climate change.
I responded, "Should people of IL-05 be satisfied with the progress has made on Climate Change since you joined Congress in 2005 [sic]?"
